With a decisive 11:1 win over Australia, Canada captures 1st. place in the A division and awaits to see if their opponent will be Spain or Slovakia in the semi finals on Saturday.

Strong play and scoring came from all over, but we must give special attention to Patrick Ducharme of Montreal who had another explosive game today, netting 6 points, capturing game MVP for a second time.  Patrick now leads A division scoring with 15 points!  Lauri Hannelius also had a great game with 3 goals and 2 assists.  Further highlights need to go to the net minders Sam Garrison and Martin Belanger.  Only 5 goals in 3 matches have made their way past these guys!  Well done Team Canada!

In the B division, Spain ad Slovakia sit sweetly at the top, both with no loses and considerable victories, to say the least, over Serbia, Georgia and Korea.  Tomorrow the two teams meet and perhaps have their first real test thus far to determine who finishes first and second.

Canada will play second place.  Australia will play first.
