Team Canada didn't open the tournament the way they wanted, losing 5-2 to Czechia. However, since that first game Canada has gotten stronger game by game.
After a nail-biting overtime win vs Slovakia, Canada would go on to defeat Team USA 6-2 last night and now heading back to the gold medal game vs Czechia.
Canada didn't forget the boxing day loss, and on top of that felt that Czechia was pretty cocky afterwards. After the game Team Canada forward Joshua Roy was asked about the gold medal game and a chance to get payback vs Czechia.
It seemed Roy and his teammates felt disrespected by Czechia when he was asked about the boxing day game.

Oh yeah we didn't forget. Well, it's how they reacted after the game when they won. I mean, they were pretty cocky, I will say. So, we won't forget that They were celebrating like they won the gold medal." - Joshua Roy
Canada and Czechia battle it out tonight, winner take all as Canada looks not just for payback, but also wining back to back gold medals at the World Junior's.
