Canadians played in several games on Thursday and Friday, with mixed results. The Pool Results have been kept up to date with the latest Canadian scores.

Game #8 featured Canada Ice up against the Germans. The young Canadian players really started to connect and everything came together for an excellent team effort in a 43-34 victory. 3.0 classified player Ian Chan led the charge with a whopping 20 goals, followed by similarly classed Mike Whitehead with 14 of his own. Patrice Simard, a fast 1.5 from Québec City scored 5, while team veteran Daryl Stubel earned 4 more for the Ice.

Game #10 had the Nordiques play against their Calloway Cabin neighbours the Belgians, and it proved to be an extremely well executed and tactical game on behalf of the Canadians. The final score was 50-37 for the 'Diques and Coach Soares was quite pleased with the Canadian's performance. Garett Hickling led the rush with 14 goals, followed closely by Dave Willsie's 13 goals and Steven Dunn's 11. Martin Larocque of the Ottawa Stingers earned 8 more for the Canadians, with Al Semeniuk of SaskSquash earning another 4.

In Game 12, early on Friday morning, the Ice had a slow start with some unforced errors in the first three minutes of the game. After that point they played the Swedes evenly, but the margin held pretty much throughout the entire game, with the Swedes winning by a score of 37-31. Ian Chan and Mike Whitehead scored 26 goals between the two of them, with four other players earning the remaining 5 Canadian goals.

The second game of the day saw the Canadians control the play the entire game. This game featured the Nordiques against the British. The Brits have a new 3.5, reminiscent in size and speed to Chris Daw who was a member of the Canadian 2000 Paralympic team. However, 0.5 Canadian Dany Bélanger from Montréal was still able to knock him to the floor with a jarring hit. Team Captain Garett Hickling led the way with 17 goals, while dynamo 2.0 David Willsie rushed in for 14. The Rock scored 6 more, and Stevie Dunn earned a pair. The final score was Canada Nordiques 37 - Great Britain 31.

Game 16 was a tough one for the Ice, with solid hits, high pressure and a lot of swarming wearing down the small Canadian team. Steve Pate from the American team played a strong game and led his highly motivated USA Stars to a solid 31-15 win over Canada Ice. Ian Chan scored 6 of the Canadian goals, while Daryl Stubel and Mike Whitehead earned 4 and 3 goals respectively. Say Luangkhamdeng (2.5) and Dave Gagné (1.0) scored one goal apiece.

There was some controversy over the size of the Canadian bumpers today, with 4-5 defensive chairs being seriously questioned by the international technical officials. More on that story tomorrow...
