    This group promises to be competitive and it seems so after this one is finished. Canada with 3 points after the group's first game, with two more strong teams to play tonight: Sweden and Finland. First, though, is the second game of Group A: Slovakia vs Czech Republic. (17:28:14)
     
    Players of the game:

    CAN – Josh Foote, 1 goal.
    GER – Thomas Ower, goalie.

    The national anthem of Canada is now being played.
     
    An interesting game, for sure, with Canada showing masterful puck control to really keep Germany from getting any chances at all after they took a 2-1 lead.

    47:22
    Goal for Team Canada!
    Hammond and Terry hook up again, and this time are successful. Hammond puts CHRIS TERRY in all alone on a breakaway. He makes a little move and slides it between Ower's pads to really put Canada in the driver's seat.
    Assists: Dave Hammond, Kyle Henderson.

    Terry fans on the shot, then Hammond gets it and Ower makes a huge save to keep his team in the game.

    42:03
    Luscombe with a high wrister that hits Ower in the shoulder, Germany now back at full strength.
     
    41:18
    The Canadians put the puck in the net but another one is waved off, this one for a player in the crease and it's waved off immediately. Still :02 left in the penalty.
     
    41:32
    Long shot by Woods, Terry the rebound, Ower stops them both and covers.
     
    41:07
    Save Owen and he covers with :42 left in the penalty.

    40:00
    Canada still with possession, delayed penalty against Germany . . .
