Team Canada gets Pool Play Retribution and protects bronze medal in Montevideo

During the polar game, seven days ago, Chile was the team that broke through with a goal in the 7^one Minute and checked the piece with the pipe. Today it was Canada’s turn. A nice piece of ball treatment by Robin Thind gave an open just before Sean Davis, who corrected the ball and put it together. Canada took the lead in the 8^one Minute and immediately the game felt different.

From that moment on, the game settled in a rhythm with a nice back and forth when both teams traded the rest of the first half and the third quarter for the rest of the first half and the third quarter. The match shot in Hyerdrive in the fourth quarter when the captain Matt Sarmento of Team Canada hit a rebound with a small snap shot from a Robin Thind Circle Drive. Robin Thind was particularly on both Canadian goals, setting up Davis and the initial shot at the Sarento goal.

With Canada, who doubled the leadership in the fourth quarter, Chile’s attack took an increasing way. They replied back in the 54^one Minute when Juan Amoroso tore a backhand -above corner of a PC Rebound. For a Canadian hockey fan, the last 6 minutes took an eternity. Chile pulled their keeper and gave a final push, but the Canadian defense was too strong in the play. The custodian of Canada, Ethan Mctavish, made a number of crucial criminal corner stops during this match. During the last 3 minutes, Canada brought all 10 field players back to strengthen the victory. It was a complete team effort from all parties in this. Although Canada hoped to be in the final this afternoon, the bronze medal represents a radiant response to their Pool game loss on this Chilean side and a great memorandum to end the tournament.
