2010 World Junior Hockey Championships: Canada Ends Prelim Round.

The preliminary round of the 2010 World Junior Hockey Championships will end today for Team Canada as they will face Team USA this afternoon.

Canada did not encounter any problem during their first three matches. First, they defeated Team Latvia by the score of 16-0 before shutting down Team Switzerland by 6-0. Team Slovakia did manage to score a couple of goals but fell by the score of 8-2.

With three wins in three games for Team Canada and Team USA, the first place of the prelim round will be at stake. A first place means a spot in the semifinal round. We can expect a very disputed match between those two teams.
