Reigning world champions Canada breezed past Sweden 17-0 on the first day of the Paralympics ice hockey schedule in Pyeongchang.
The Canadians scored seven goals in the first period alone as Tyler McGregor netted a hat-trick inside 10 minutes.
But it was their last goal that had the fans at Gangneung Hockey Centre in South Korea going wild.
McGregor was the star of the show as he received the puck on on the left hand side of the goal and proceeded to pull off a ‘no-look’ assist to team-mate Greg Westlake.
WORST CRASH IN PARALYMPIC HISTORY?
The No 12 converted past the Sweden goalkeeper first time to round off a miserable day for the Scandinavians.
“As a team, we’ve had a ton of success in Korea, and we love coming here,” a wide-smiling McGregor said after the game.
“Since we’ve been here it’s been amazing, and I had a good week of training leading up living in the village.
“We’ve been preparing for this since last year’s World Championships, and I love coming back as it feels like home here now.”
“I want to win a gold medal because we have 15 guys on this roster that don’t have a gold medal,” goalscorer Westlake added.
Canada is now tied with Italy for first place in Group A in the preliminary round with two points apiece.
