Today's games saw crossover matches between top and bottom ranked teams in the Group 1 and Group 2 pools as illustrated on the tournament schedule. For Canadian teams, this meant the Ice met up with Germany, while the Nordiques played against the Phoenix Heat.

I don't have any breakdown on how the games went, but I do know that Phoenix beat the Nordiques by 2 or 3 points, while the Brits beat Lakeshore by a similar margin in a game which meant that both the #1 and #2 seeded teams were knocked out of the gold medal game. Both games were apparently spectacular for the fans in attendance. Great Britain will now meet Phoenix in the final, while the Nordiques and Lakeshore battle for 3rd place.

The 10th seeded Canada Ice overcame their seeding once again to defeat Germany. Meanwhile, in the same pool as the Ice, Belgium beat the Texas Stampede, which meant that the Ice would meet the 4th ranked team in the world in a game that would decide 5th place at the Coloplast International.

In another great effort for the Ice, they eventually came out on top of the Belgians by a single goal, securing 5th place at the tournament and a great achievement, considering their seeding.

In other games, the Hoveround Lightning, which often features our own David Willsie at other tournaments, won their final two games to secure 9th place at the tournament. They beat Australia by 4 goals to secure their final seed. The At Large Team beat the hometown Tampa Generals for 11th place.
