UTICA, N.Y. — Kristin O'Neill's career-high, three-point game lifted Canada to a 5-0 win over Czechia in the women's world hockey championship Sunday.
"I would say my confidence has grown every chance I get to play in this jersey," O'Neill said."My role has kind of evolved in the Hockey Canada program. Her counterpart Klara Peslarova stopped 37 of 42 shots for Czechia , which was the bronze medallist the last two years. "It was a pretty tough situation faced with three penalties right off the hop. I wasn't overly thrilled. I thought we competed hard to kill those off, but it hinders your rhythm."
