Team Canada lost to Sweden and was left without medals at the World Hockey Championship
Team Canada lost to Sweden in the bronze medal match at the 2024 Ice Hockey World Championship. This was reported by a Lenta.ru correspondent.
The meeting ended with a score of 4:2 in favor of the Swedes. Thus, Canada was left without World Cup medals for the first time since 2018, when the team also finished in fourth place.
The teams of Switzerland and the Czech Republic will compete for gold medals. Their meeting will take place on May 26 at 21:20 Moscow time.
Earlier, the Olympic champion in the USSR national team, Alexander Kozhevnikov, linked the level of play of the Canadian team at the tournament with Russia. “If the Russian national team had played at the tournament, they would have had a different attitude,” he said.
The 2024 World Cup is taking place in Prague and Ostrava, Czech Republic. The national teams of Russia and Belarus are missing the tournament due to sanctions from the International Hockey Federation. In addition, fans were prohibited from bringing any symbols of the two countries into the stands.
