Canada dominates in opening 17-0 win in Para ice hockey

Canada's Para ice hockey team pened the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games with a 17-0 win over Sweden in Gangneung, South Korea, on Saturday night. With the 17 goals, Canada has now scored 991 since Hockey Canada took over the Para ice hockey program in 2004.

The offense was sparked by Tyler McGregor’s (Forest, Ont.) four goals, including the first of the game which was his 100th career point. Bryan Sholomicki (Winnipeg) added a hat trick while 12 different skaters registered at least one point in the win.

Canadian curlers strong out of the gate in PyeongChang

If you were going to ask Canadian skip Mark Ideson who the favourites in wheelchair curling are at this year’s Paralympic Games, he’d tell you Norway won the world championship, and Russia won the two before that, and that the USA is playing really well lately.

He certainly wouldn’t put Canada on the list, even though they’ve won the last three Paralympic gold medals.

Based on Ideson’s modest prognosis, you’d expect for a Canada-Norway game to be lopsided. And it was, but not in the way his handicapping would suggest.
