Canada’s 1-2 mark was good enough for third in Group C. The Canadians will now play an elimination game in two days against Great Britain. Eric Graham and Michael Chapman were the only two to find the net for Canada.

“What can you say?” offered head coach Brian Parillo. “We were completely outclassed in every aspect of the game. That said, we need to keep our eye on the prize which is making it into the top eight and that will be determined in our upcoming game against Great Britain.”

“This game allowed our team to realize what we need to fix before our big game in two days,” Chapman stated. “Despite the score today, I really believe in the guys on this team and I know everyone is going to be ready on Wednesday.”
