Back to Davos style. Wollwend’s team made their 2022 Spengler Cup debut with a 2-1 victory over Canada in a “classic” match. For its part, the Maple Leaf’s national team closes its group with two defeats in as many matches, so will definitely play in the quarterfinals.

Third center of the match. Despite plenty of chances on both sides (as well as several hints of a fight), the score did not change, and it was a perfect return home to Tavos three years later. .
