Canada beat Czechia 3-2 in overtime at the men’s summer under-18 hockey tournament on Saturday
Forward Malcolm Spence scored with seven seconds left in the first overtime period as Canada edged Czechia 3-2 to capture gold at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup at Fosfa Arena on Saturday.
“I knew it was late in overtime and I knew [the Czechs] were tired because they were keeping a fast pace in overtime. I knew the [Czech defender] was on for quite a bit of time and that I could pick his pocket if I moved my feet, so that is what I did,” said Spence. Kaden Lindstrom finished off a perfect pass from Porter Martone off the rush just under a minute into the frame. Captain Berkly Catton, who scored in every game of the tournament, then scored a power-play goal off a scramble in front of the net at 9:17.
“It is awesome that we ended up with the gold, but none of this would have been possible without my teammates. The whole tournament was such a great experience.”
