Canada to face U.S. for gold at Para hockey worlds after shutout win over Czechs
CBC
Dominic Cozzolino and James Dunn each scored twice as Canada defeated the Czech Republic 5-0 on Saturday in the semifinals at the world Para hockey championship in Moose Jaw, Sask.
Canada will face a familiar foe in the United States for gold, with Sunday's matchup marking the sixth straight final between the rivals at the world championship.
The Americans are searching for their third straight world title, while Canada hasn't won gold since 2017. The Canadians have not beaten the reigning Paralympic champions in any competition since 2021, with a 4-2 win during a two-game series in St. Louis.
Adam Dixon collected three assists against the Czechs, while captain Tyler McGregor picked up a pair.
Cozzolino opened the scoring 25 seconds into the game, setting the tone for a dominant first period. Dunn gave Canada a 2-0 lead with a power-play goal before striking again just 18 seconds later.
Lavin scored Canada's third goal of the opening frame, and Cozzolino capped the scoring early in the third.
The U.S. advanced to the final earlier on Saturday with a 10-2 win over China that saw stars Declan Farmer and Brody Roybal each score a hat trick.
China will face the Czechs for bronze on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET, with the gold-medal game following at 9 p.m. ET.
