IIHF U18 Championship Update: Canada Off To Semi-Finals

The IIHF U18 Championship has completed its round robin play, with Canada advancing to the semi-finals.

The Toronto Maple Leafs management is also in Switzerland, scouting the draft eligible players as well as possibly “bumping” into Los Angeles Kings VP of Hockey Operations and Director of Player Personnel Michael Futa, who is a strong candidate to interview for the vacant Toronto Maple Leafs GM position.

As for the tournament itself, Canada faced off against Latvia on Apr. 16 in their first game of the tournament which was an offensive duel. The game ended with an 11-6 win for Canada, while they doubled Latvia in shots, recording 44 shots to Latvia’s 22.
