OSTRAVA, Czechia – Tyler McGregor scored a hat trick and Liam Hickey added two goals and three assists as Canada shut out South Korea 8-0 on Sunday at the world para-hockey championship.
Auren Halbert scored two goals and Corbyn Smith had a single as Canada improved to 2-0 in the preliminary round.
“We had different players stepping up and had some guys come into the lineup that really helped us out,” said Canadian head coach Ken Babey. “We played a solid team game and we created a lot of offensive opportunities that we were able to capitalize on.”
Dominic Larocque and Adam Kingsmill split goaltending duties. Canada outshot South Korea 28-3.
Canada will play the Czech Republic on Tuesday. Play continues through Saturday.
