Czechia wins this one 6-4.

Huge second period effort to win that. Top players in that game were the two 2011's – Czechia's Dominik Zelezny and Canada's Madden Daneault#WorldU1717

F Ryerson Edgar has won multiple gold medals representing Hockey Canada; first at last year’s #WorldU17’s, then the Hlinka-Gretzky this past summer.

Today the #IceDogs 2027 #NHLDraft eligible was named to the CHL-USA Prospects Challenge roster on behalf of #OHL.

I spoke with Edgar recently, here.
