Liam Hickey leads way, Canada beats South Korea for spot in gold-medal game
CHARLOTTETOWN — Canada and the United States will play for gold again at the world sledge hockey challenge.
Liam Hickey scored three times and added an assist and James Dunn had a pair of goals as the Canadian squad downed South Korea 8-0 on Thursday in the tournament semifinal.
They will play for gold on Saturday against the Americans, who toppled Italy 5-1 for their spot in the championship.
“I like the way we played,” said Canadian head coach Ken Babey. “I thought it was good to get some offence but more importantly we didn’t allow any goals. We want to clean up our defensive structure in preparation for the gold-medal game against the U.S.”
