VANTAA, Finland – Canada opened the women’s under-18 world hockey championship with a 6-2 win over Slovakia on Saturday.
Hayley McDonald, Maxine Cimoroni, Danica Maynard, Chloe Primerano, Stryker Zablocki and Kate Viel scored for the Canadians, who pulled away with four goals in the third period.
“I thought we were OK tonight, but we need to keep working hard,” Primerano said. “We did some things well, but we also need to play for a full 60 minutes.
