24.4-24.5.2008 - Canada winner of Group A in the WFC-C division


All the matches in group A have now been played and Canada secured their first place after winning the decisive match against Australia with 11-1.

Canada crushed Australia today and proved to be one of the best teams in the C-division. The quality of the passing play was impressive and of the highest level so far in the tournament. Canada lead 3-0 after 13 minutes and could have scored even more, but the Australian goalie made some tremendous saves. When Australia had two players on the penalty bench, Canada increased their lead with two goals to 5-0.

Canada, lead by Patrick Ducharme (3+3) and Lauri Hannelius (3+2) who both scored a hat trick, continued to dominate the match. Australia´s only goal was a penalty shot scored by Timothy Boteler and the final numbers were 11-1 to team Canada.

First victory for France

In the first match today Liechtenstein and France, that both had lost their previous matches battled for the third position in the A group.
