The Canadian Team continues to follow their unofficial theme song, Taking Care of Business, as they put away the #1-seeded team from the United States today in a classic demonstration of grace under fire. The two impressive teams were tied after the first quarter and Canada was down by two at the half-way point, 13-11. With 7 seconds left on the clock in the final quarter of play, the game was tied, when Canadian co-captain Garett Hickling made the go-ahead goal which secured the big win for the Canadians. Hickling was the Tournament MVP at the last World Championships, held in Toronto in 1998.

The US has never lost an international game, and the Canadians intend on doing it again should the US get past the undefeated Australians, who looked impressive in Pool "B".

The victory over the US secured Canada a #1 seed in their pool, and a crossover game against the #2 team in Pool "B", the Cindarella Team of these World Championships, the Belgians.
