Canada vs. Czechia FULL HIGHLIGHTS -- 2024 Hlinka Gretzky Cup

Canada won the Hlinka Gretzky Cup for the third straight year after defeating Czechia 2-1 in Saturday's gold medal game from Edmonton.

Czechia winger Tomas Poletin gave his side slight hope late in the third period when he scored with nine seconds remaining in the game, but it was too little, too late.

Canada goalie Jack Ivankovic stopped 18 of 19 shots from Czechia while the Canadians had a total of 26 shots on net.
