Two years after their last World Championship meeting, Teams U.S.A. and Canada finally took the ice to face off in a gold medal rematch at the 2021 World Para Ice Hockey Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Both teams were ready to get back to international competition after the pandemic cancelled the competition in 2020.

First Period

The first fifteen minutes started off in typical USA vs Canada fashion - physical play. Canada had its first chance on a turnover by USA’s David Eustace, but the shot was easily redirected by veteran goaltender Steve Cash. Brody Royal returned the scare to team Canada with a quick shot, but Dominic Laroque was able to handle the quick shot.
