Canada WJC Captain Fraser Minten Has Emotional Breakdown in Post-Loss Interview
Team Canada was eliminated by Czechia today in the quarter-finals putting an end to their World Junior Championship bid.
Minten And Canada Eliminated
Today was a rough day for Team Canada as despite dominating Czechia for most of the game today, they were unable to bring home the win. The game-winning goal was scored with just 11 seconds left in the third period after taking an impossible deflection.
Jakub Štancl gets his second of the game after a crazy bounce into the Canada net.
This broke the hearts of Canada and despite a strong tournament from seemingly every player, they will be going home empty-handed.
Minten Comments On The Loss
After the loss, Team Canada captain Fraser Minten, a 2022 2nd-rounder to the Toronto Maple Leafs, broke down when commenting on the heartbreaker.
While this is brutal for everybody on the team, many are looking to take this as a learning experience and while this was disappointing, every player involved in the tournament should be better for it when it is all said and done.
