McGregor, Hickey lead Canada to 9-0 win over Norway at para hockey worlds
GANGNEUNG, Korea, Republic Of — Tyler McGregor two goals and two assists to lead Canada to a 9-0 win over Norway in its opening game Wednesday at the 2017 IPC World Para Hockey Championship.
McGregor opened the scoring just 30 seconds into the game as Canada took a 6-0 lead into the first intermission.
“We were fortunate to get off to a great start,” McGregor said. “I think part of that is due to the fact that we’ve had a week here, had a lot of time to settle in, had quite a few good practices here. We just built off an early lead and continued that throughout the game, and hopefully (we’ll continue that) throughout the week.”
Liam Hickey had a goal and three assists for Canada, while captain Greg Westlake had two goals and an assist.
