The World U17 hockey tournament is quickly coming to a close. Team Ontario, at a perfect 4-0-0-0, is moving on to the semi-finals to face Team West, the second place team from Group B at 3-0-0-1 while in the other semi-final game, Group B leading Team USA (3-0-0-1) faces off against Team Pacific (2-0-1-1), who just squeaked in by taking one of their games into overtime before losing. Both semi-final games will be played today with the first game between West and Ontario beginning at 3:00 PM and the second game scheduled for 7:30 PM. The winners of these two games will go on to play for gold at 7:30 PM tomorrow night, live on TSN, while the losers fight for third place at 1:00 PM.
In other action, Germany finished the tournament in ninth place with a 2-0-0-3 record by defeating the winless Slovakia team 5-1 this morning. Slovakia finished the tournament at 0-0-0-5. Later this afternoon Team Quebec (1-1-0-2) battles the team from the East, Team Atlantic (1-0-0-3), for seventh place while Russia (2-0-0-2) looks to finish in fifth place this evening as they take on Finland at 7:00 PM. I am not sure how successful this tournament was for the organizers but there was some exciting hockey played and I am sure the rest of the games will not disappoint either.
