“We were unselfish and played a structured game – set a high pace from the start of the game to the finish. We corrected some problems we had in the second period, that allowed us to open it up in the third period and skate to victory. Overall, a good effort, and we look forward to our game against Italy.” – Ken Babey (Saskatoon, Sask.), head coach of Canada’s National Sledge Team, on the keys to his team’s win on Wednesday
