Canada fell 5-0 to the U.S. in the final of the 2022 Paralympic Games in Beijing.

“This off-season came with a lot of change, including new coaches and new players, and it was fun to get the new season started and find out which areas we need to work on,” said Canadian veteran forward Greg Westlake.

“We are excited to keep building, and we know we are going to stay united as a team and get better as the season goes on.

“We are looking forward to playing at home in our next tournament and showcasing our great sport, because we love playing in Canada. We are excited to get to Dawson Creek in November and play in a part of the country that we have not been to for a long time.”

Host Czechia defeated China 3-1 for third.

Canada beat Czechia, China and Italy and lost in overtime to the U.S. in the preliminary round.
