Monday April 21, the Canada will face Sweden in the semi-final of the Under 18 World Championships in Kazan, Russia.
This will be a rematch of sorts. Last year, Sweden's U18 team nailed Canada 8-3 in the Bronze medal game.
The Swedish line-up features a number of players eligible for the 2008 NHL Entry draft. The match-up should be a fine opportunity to get an idea of what is on offer. Most notably is Sweden's goaltender Jacob Markström. He acted like a brickwall during the relegation/promotion series and was a key element that kept Brynäs in the Elite Series.
update: Canada won 3-2 in what was apparently a stellar defensive battle. They play Russia for Gold on Wednesday.
