Team Canada, facing criticism after a disappointing preliminary round, prepares to face Czechia in a crucial quarter-final match. Forward Gavin McKenna aims to silence doubters and contribute to a victory. Canada seeks to replicate past success in the quarter-finals, including a memorable overtime win against Czechia in the 2023 tournament.

Team Canada faced plenty of criticism for an underwhelming preliminary round performance. Gavin McKenna didn't mind it.McKenna took a peek at the social media discourse after Canada 's 4-1 loss to the United States on New Year's Eve.

It can lead to special moments. Two years ago in Halifax, Connor Bedard scored an overtime goal for the ages to beat Slovakia in the quarter-finals. "Just sticking with it," Canada's youngest player said of his mindset."I know it will come at some point. I'm just going to be playing the way I've been playing. I just haven't been able to put the puck in the back of the net, but I feel like my line's generating quite a bit of offence."

McKenna has already established some clutch credentials on the international stage. His hat trick helped Canada win the gold medal game against the United States at the 2024 under-18 World Championship. "This is when I think I play my best," Martone said,"when there's a lot on the line and maybe there's some adversity and when the best players have to come out and play.""I think he's going to have some big moments here in this tournament starting tonight," Lazary predicted."He's going to be a big piece for us. He's playing on a pretty good line. Porter's just gotta be Porter.

Canada's returning players are looking to flip the script. Czechia's eight returnees are looking to repeat the feat.
