Canada opened the women's world hockey championship with a shutout win over Switzerland.
ESPOO, Finland — Emily Clark scored a pair of goals for Canada in a 6-0 win over Switzerland to open the women’s world hockey championship Thursday.
The medal games are April 14, which also happens to be voting day for Finland’s parliamentary elections. The 28-year-old forward from Beauceville, Que., skated twice with the Canadian team upon landing in Finland, but her status to start the tournament was said to be day-to-day. She shovelled the puck under the Swiss netminder in a goal-mouth scramble for her first. That goal was reviewed for goaltender interference and allowed to stand.
