Canada beats Latvia in the quarterfinals of the U18 men's hockey championship
VANTAA, Finland Carter George made 23 saves for his second shutout of the tournament as Canada defeated Latvia 4-0 in the quarterfinals of the U18 Men's Hockey World Cup on Thursday.
Team captain Porter Martone scored and 16-year-old Gavin McKenna had an assist.
McKenna is second in tournament scoring with 15 points (six goals, nine assists) in five games. He tied Macklin Celebrini (2023) and Tyson Jost (2015) for the most points at a single U18 men's world championship by a Canadian.
Martone is third with 14 points (five goals, nine assists). He now has 20 career points at the tournament, one behind Connor Bedard's all-time Canadian record.
I have to give a lot of credit to my linemates,” McKenna said. “I played with Martone and (Caleb) Desnoyers, who were unreal linemates, just like Roger McQueen who I started with.
“As the tournament went on, we got better every match and built a great friendship with Porter and all the guys. It was super cool to have Martone close to his own record as well.”
Maxim Masse scored the winning goal on a power play 5:08 into the game.
Ryder Ritchie and Jett Luchanko, in an empty net, also scored for Canada. Tij Iginla and Harrison Brunicke each added two assists.
Goalkeeper Mikus Vecvanags made 34 saves for Latvia.
I thought Latvia played well and so did we,” said McKenna. “They came forward hard and we responded quite well to their pressure and George had a great game in the net. When he makes big saves it gives us the motivation to keep playing well and it also gives us momentum.”
Canada will face Sweden in the semifinals on Saturday for a second straight tournament. The Swedes advanced with a 2-1 win over Finland.
Sweden dumped Canada 7-2 at last year's World Cup in Switzerland. Canada then defeated Slovakia in extra time 4-3 for bronze.
Canada defeated Sweden 6-3 in the opening match of this year's tournament.
Defending champion United States will face Slovakia in the other semi-final. The US defeated Switzerland 4-0 in the quarterfinals, while Slovakia defeated the Czech Republic 3-2.
