Hockey Canada VP Scott Salmond painted a bleak picture of the atmosphere in Canada's locker room following their disappointing elimination from WJC.
The team suffered a last-minute 4-3 defeat to Czechia last week in the quarterfinals, a repeat of last year's disappointing exit at the same stage against the same team.
Salmond said that despite having the best facilities, accommodation, and schedule, the results are unacceptable. He also acknowledged the efforts shown by the players who represented Canada
"We have no excuse for the results of our team. I do want to acknowledge the 25 young men that are aged 17 to 19 that represented Canada. I want to acknowledge their effort, their commitment," Salmond said.
