Representatives of the Canadian national hockey team apologized for unsportsmanlike behavior during a match at the 2026 World Junior Championships, TSN reports.
The Group B meeting, held on Saturday in Minneapolis (USA), ended with a victory for the Canadians with a score of 7:5. After the end of the match, the Canadian youth hockey team left the ice, ignoring the traditional handshake ceremony. Also at the end of the game, Canadian captain Michael Porter skated past the Czech bench and provoked the opposing players.
“I have to apologize for my actions at the end of the game.” This is unacceptable and it shouldn’t be this way. As the captain of this team, as the leader of this team, I set a bad example for the rest of the guys. It’s my fault and I shouldn’t do this. This is a lesson for the future. “I take full responsibility for my actions,” Porter said.
“I apologize to the Czechs for the handshake incident, and we will shake hands in the next match,” said Canada head coach Dale Hunter.
Earlier it became known that the International Hockey Federation (IIHF) began an investigation into what happened in the match. Hockey Canada has formally apologized for the handshake incident.
The 2026 World Cup started in the USA on December 26 and will end on January 5.

The Ukrainian hockey championship match took place between the leader Sokol and the foreigner Krizhinka.
The meeting is expected to end in favor of the favorite, the score was 4:0. Sokol also managed to pin down his opponent only in the third period and scored three goals against the opponent.
The match was remembered when Krizhinka’s player Vasily-Yuriy Kachan lost consciousness on the bench. The hockey player was immediately sent to the hospital.
Additionally, the lights went out in the arena four minutes before the end, but the problem was quickly resolved and the match was completed.
Sokol is the leader, 4 points ahead of Kremenchug, with two games remaining against its rival and current champion.

A terrible situation occurred in the middle of the first period of the ongoing Ukrainian hockey championship match between Sokol and Krizhinka Capitals at the ATEK ice rink in Kiev. Krizhinka’s 27-year-old forward Vasily-Yuriy Kachan lost consciousness while on the bench.
Sokol doctor Elizaveta Khimich was the first to help the hockey player, who started this season in Sokol and was a two-time Ukrainian champion with this team. He was later joined by representatives of the ambulance team. At these moments, players, coaches and team staff looked very scared. Yuri’s beloved Elizaveta Ustinina, herself a former hockey player, watched the events in tears.
As a result, Kachan was conscious when he was carried on a stretcher to the ambulance.
We wish Yuri a speedy recovery.
After the first period, Sokol closed the match ahead 1-0. Denis Zherebko scored the only goal.
