CALGARY — Canada won its second game in as many days to open the world para hockey championship with a 10-0 thumping of Italy on Sunday.

Tyler McGregor of Forest, Ont., led the host team with four goals and assist in Calgary’s WinSport Arena.

Liam Hickey of St. John’s N.L., contributed a pair of goals and four assists a day after Canada opened the tournament with a 19-0 thrashing of Japan.

Canada’s goalie Corbin Watson faced just two shots from the Italians on Sunday.

The Canadians won a silver medal at the 2023 world para championship in Moose Jaw, Sask., where they lost 6-1 to the United States in the final.
