Finland’s under-18 girls’ national ice hockey team’s World Cup bronze game against Canada was interrupted for several minutes at the end of the second period Emmi Loponen14, due to injury.
Loponen, who had been lying on the ice for a long time, was finally taken away from the rink on a stretcher.
Loponen was injured when Canada Charlotte Pieckenhagen tackled the Finn and fell on him next to the side.
– Worryingly motionless, he is there. Pieckenhagen will of course go to the ice shelf, but that is not the main concern at this point, Discovery and TV5 commentator Juhavaltteri Salminen said.
The match ended with an 8–1 crushing victory for Canada. Canada scored three goals in the opening set and four in the second set. In the final set, both hit once.
Finland finished second in the initial group after Canada. In the playoffs, Finland first defeated Slovakia and then lost to the USA 4–2 in the semifinals.
The Czech Republic and the USA will meet in the World Cup final. The Czech Republic sensationally defeated Canada 4-2 in the semifinals.
In the opening group, Canada beat Finland 10–0, the Czech Republic 8–1 and Germany 11–0.
