DARTMOUTH: The final pre-tournament and practices have been complete for the U18 Women’s World Hockey Championships. Now it’s go time.
The U.S. and Czechia played the two teams final exhibition games before the two headed to Sydney-Membertou for the tournament, which runs Jan. 10-18, on Wednesday at the RBC Centre in Dartmouth.
The game was played before a small crowd at the rink. U.S. won 4-2 after holding a 3-0 lead through two periods.
That small crowd allowed girls hockey players from Woodlawn High to chat with Czechia team officials during an intermission and to watch the high energy, fast skating game between the two clubs. Woodlawn had just played Lockview High in Arena A.
