BRECLAV, Czech Republic -- Canada defeated the Czech Republic 6-2 on Saturday to win gold at the under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup for the seventh consecutive year.

Dylan Strome opened the scoring at 3:34 and Crouse made it a 2-0 game a few minutes later. Mitchell Marner and Travis Konecny added goals later in the first period to silence the crowd at Alcaplast Arena. "We knew we had to have a really good start against (the Czechs) because they were playing really well," said head coach Jody Hull. "Our guys just bought into the process. Its an amazing group."

Nicolas Roy restored Canadas four-goal cushion before Lukas Jasek scored for the Czechs late in the frame. Crouse added an insurance goal in the third period. "After our first goal, we just kept rolling," Marner said. "Were a hard team to stop when we play as one and I think we did that very well in this tournament and in the gold medal game." Canada finished first in Group B in preliminary round play with a 3-0 record and dumped the United States 11-5 in the semifinal on Friday. The Czechs were tops in Group A at 3-0 and defeated Sweden 4-3 to reach the final. "We tried to keep things simple yet hard enough for other teams to play against us," Hull said. "Im just proud that every guy bought in to what we were doing as a hockey club." Sawchenko made 17 saves for the victory. Alex Stezka and Daniel Vladar split goaltending duties for the Czechs, stopping 18 of 24 shots. The Americans beat Sweden 5-4 to take the bronze medal.

Chan had a strong opportunity to become Canadas first Olympic mens figure skating champion last February, but struggled in his free skate and finished behind Japans Yuzuru Hanyu. "It took me some time at the games to get over the disappointment of being so close, yet so far," Chan said. "I had a couple of reminders when I was on tour in Japan skating with Yuzuru in the shows. That didnt help, either. So the last thing I want do is look back at the programs, even though some things were great. "Knowing me, Im a perfectionist, Ill just pick on the bad stuff. It will eat away at me. For me, the best way to cope with how I did is just look at those two medals I got and look at them as two great silver medals." Canada also wound up second in the team event behind host Russia. "Silver medals that a lot of people dream to have and then move on," Chan added. "Move on by sharing it with Canada, sharing it with people here. That helps me cope withh that bit of a disappointment.dddddddddddd" Chan didnt try to win a fourth straight world title this year. He skipped the event in Japan, and Hanyu took gold there as well. Chan, 23, has yet to decide if hes up for another four-year cycle of training and competitions ahead of the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics. Hes skipping the Grand Prix season and will wait until later this year before making a decision on the Canadian championships in January and the worlds in March in Shanghai. "I deserve a bit of a break from it," he said. "Just take that opportunity to catch up with friends that I havent had a chance to, and play some hockey or go do things that Ive always wanted to do and just havent had the chance. "That will help me find that motivation again to come back. Just so I feel like Im not missing out on some stuff that Ive wanted to do since my childhood. "If Im committing to the next four years to the next games, then I want to take at least one year for myself to not stress and just take a breath and really plan my life just by what I want to do, not what people tell me to do."
