John McFarland led the way for Ontario, recording a hat trick in the win. McFarland scored once in the
second period and twice in the third to lead the Ontarians to their second win in as many games at the U17
tournament. Tyler Toffoli and Sam Carrick also scored in the win.
Vladislav Namestnikov, who scored four times in Russia’s win over Slovakia on Tuesday, and Aleksander
Gogolev had the goals for the Russians, who dropped to 1-2 in Group A.

preliminary round on Friday (2 p.m. PST). |
