CZECH REPUBLIC WINS BRONZE IN SHOOTOUT
By Keith Borkowsky
REGINA — Stanislav Polodna’s two shootout goals gave the Czech Republic a bronze-medal victory at the
World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.
As Polodna fired his shot through Pacific goalie Scott Orth’s legs, the entire Czech bench flooded the ice
in celebration after the 5-4 win over Pacific Wednesday.
The Czechs took an early lead at the 1:38 mark of the opening frame. Tomas Karpov was wide open in front
of the net and buried his power-play chance between Orth’s legs. Thomas Kundratek chipped in an assist.
That seemed to spark the Pacific offence into action. Kyle Turris fired a shot off the post, beating
Czech goalie Marek Benda for a power-play marker at the 2:27 mark. Zach Boychuk assisted.
Dustin Sylvester added another Pacific power-play goal from Thomas Hickey and Nick Ross at the 6:32
mark.
Petr Kafka’s pair of goals in the first and second periods gave the Czechs a short-lived 3-2 advantage,
until Tyler Ennis netted the equalizer midway through the second frame.
Ross set up Pacific’s go-ahead goal 48 seconds into the third period, feeding Dana Tyrell at the side of
the net with a cross-ice pass.
With 46.8 seconds left in the third period, extra-attacker Tomas Schmidt sniped a game-tying power-play
goal for the Czechs. Kafka picked up his third point of the game with the lone assist.
