Team Canada’s World Junior Championship run ended with a 4-3 loss to Czechia in the quarterfinals. Adam Jecho scored the winning goal on a power play with 39.4 seconds left. The loss marked Canada’s second-worst finish on home ice.
Team Canada's exit left several Canadian hockey icons disappointed. One such person was Hockey Hall of Famer Chris Pronger. He took to X, to talk about the current state of the team.
"I guess the next question is … where do we go from here?" Pronger wrote. "The days of countries being nervous and afraid to play Canada are gone. Swagger gone. They actually look forward to playing Canada now. IMO that needs to change. Canadian hockey is missing an identity."
