No one can promise Canadian hockey success anymore

The Canadian U-20 national team unexpectedly conceded the superiority of their Czech peers in the quarter-final match 2-3, which meant staying out of the medal race.

“Sometimes there are valid excuses and luck turns your back. Sometimes you fight to the golden match four times in a row, but the fifth time it doesn’t work out. Right now, no one can promise Canada’s success in international hockey anymore,” writes Wheeler. If there’s one thing we’ve clearly understood when talking about the World Youth Championship over the years, it’s that hockey has never been as unpredictable as it has been in recent years.”

Canadian U-20 hockey players will finish the world championship in fifth place.

“The competition is getting bigger and the gap is narrowing,” the journalist believes.

He also marked the Canadians’ 0-2 group stage loss to Swedish hockey players, most of whom play in the domestic championship, one of the top professional leagues in the world.

“Maybe the days of Canada winning gold five times in a row are over. Of course, that would be good for international hockey and the sport in general,” says Wheeler. “That doesn’t mean Canada’s time is up, but sometimes you lose, even if you’re Canadian.”

The master race in Gothenburg takes place from December 26 to January 5.
