Today the U18 WC started and the championship started in the very best way for our blue and yellow talents. Sweden already faced the toughest possible opposition in the opening match on Thursday in the form of the big favorite Canada.
Blue-yellow crush
But the Småkrona took to the ice and showed zero respect for the transatlantics and went up to a senseless 5-0 lead after only thirteen minutes played. The team captain Otto Stenbergwho belongs to Frölunda, made it 1-0 with a class goal, see it below, after three minutes and then it was a complete ice break for the Swedes.

Sawing Canada
Already in the first period break, the Canadian team was sawn and the Swedes were widely praised.
– Sweden really plays as a team. They are on, Canada is not. They make bad turnovers, miss marks and make bad decisions with and without the puck. All in all, it’s an absolutely terrible period, says the TSN expert Dave Reid.
– It is one of the tournament’s best teams.

The most impressive thing was that Småkrona managed to score five goals on just seven shots in the first period, see the first goal below. Canada never managed to recover from the tearing start and the elimination then continued with both 6-0 and 7-0 after goals by Zeb Forsfjäll and Stenberg again.
