World Junior Roundup: Czechia, USA, Sweden, Switzerland come out on top
Czechia took advantage of many Canadian mistakes to pull off a solid 5-2 upset on Monday to end Day 1 play in Halifax.
The highlight of the first, however, was the two failed lacrosse goal attempts by Canada. First, Adam Fantilli went for it, only Spacek to knock the puck off his stick and away from danger. Then, Bedard’s attempt was stopped after Suchanek covered the top left corner perfectly and kept it out.A goal for Svozil just 44 seconds into the second put Czechia up by two, but not for long.
But just four minutes later, the Latvians answered back. Rainers Rullers was able to sucker Luke Hughes out of position before finding Anri Ravinskis, who knocked in the shot past 2023 draft prospect Trey Augustine for the 1-1 goal. Another early period gave the Americans another advantage. This time, Chaz Lucius, a Winnipeg Jets prospect, took a feed from Jackson Blake and backhanded the puck over Berzins to make it 3-2, restoring the team’s one-goal advantage. A goal for Red Savage a few minutes later gave USA its first two-goal lead, making it 4-2. Hughes scored a far-out shot from the blueline later on to finish the game, giving USA a bit of relief after a close start.
Two minutes later, Simon Robertsson scored from an Elias Pettersson feed, getting the puck past traffic. Milton Oscarson scored a shorthanded goal five minutes after that before Jonathan Lekkerimaki, Liam Ohgren and Calle Odelius added goals to make it 8-0.
