Jack McBain had a goal and two assists as Canada beat the Czech Republic 4-1 in the final of the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup under-18 hockey tournament.

Joe Veleno scored the winner early in the second period, while Jared McIsaac and Kevin Bahl had the other Canadian goals. Noah Dobson and Akil Thomas each added two assists.

Dominik Arnost had the only goal for the co-host Czechs, who were the defending Ivan Hlinka champions. Olivier Rodrigue had a relatively quiet night in the Canadian goal, stopping 12 of 13 shots he faced.
