IRVING SHUTS OUT SWEDEN - Everett Silvertips netminder Leland Irving stopped 26 shots as Canada's Under-18 team blanked Sweden 4-0 Wednesday at the Junior World Cup tournament in the Czech Republic.

Fellow Silvertip Zach Hamill led the way for Canada, netting the game-winner and adding an assist for his second two-point effort in two games, while Kootenay Ice forward Ben Maxwell chipped in an assist on Hamill's tally.

Wednesday's win over the Swedes improves Team Canada to 2-0 in round-robin play after Tuesday's 5-3 victory over Switzerland. The win also guarantees Canada a spot in the semi-final.

Canada wraps up the round-robin portion of the tournament on Thursday versus the Czech Republic.
