Semi-final race completed – Germany in sixth place

The quarter-finals at the Junior World Championships in Canada ended last night – and it was especially the “North Derby” between Finland and Sweden that was tough.

Because Swords, who finished third in Group B, were already 2–0 ahead of the first third. Elmer Söderblum’s second goal in the 17th minute was particularly chic. He took the disc in front of the gate, turned and picked up the puck with his own legs in the corner. The lead was not enjoyed with the Blue-Yellow until the end of the game. Finland equalized for the 52nd minute before Sumi succeeded for 25 seconds before the end of the regular time and saw Svedes 3–3 (0–2, 1–0, 2–0) from the tournament. Was thrown out.

Two North American teams prevailed. As expected, Canada won 3–0 (2–0, 0–0, 1–0) against the Czech Republic. USA won 5: 2 (1: 0, 2: 1, 2: 1) against Slovakia.
