Huneault earns shutout as Canada kicks off IPC Cup with 3-0 victory over Czechia
OSTRAVA, Czechia – Liam Hickey scored twice as Canada opened the International Para Hockey Cup with a 3-0 win over Czechia on Saturday.
Mathieu Lelievre added an insurance goal and Dominic Cozzolino had two assists. Jean-Francois Huneault made 13 saves for the shutout.
“Our focus thus far has been on playing solid defensive hockey and I thought we did that,” said Canadian head coach Russ Herrington. “It was great to see contributions from veterans and new guys alike.
“To me, this is a building block for us and motivates us to have an even better performance tomorrow.”
The Canadians outshot Czechia 25-13.
