Despite a late third-period push, Sweden had its medal hopes dashed yesterday, falling to Russia 4-1 in an afternoon quarter-final.

The Russians, who finished preliminary round play fourth in Group A, picked up their first win of the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Championship with the victory and booked their ticket to Sunday’s semifinals and a date against the United States.

The Swedes, meanwhile, will play their final game on Sunday, still in contention for a fifth-place finish in Kamloops.

A back-and-forth first period saw Valeria Pavlova and Olga Sosina give Russia a 1-0 and 2-1 leads, bookending Sweden’s only goal of the game, a power-play marker off the stick of Johanna Olofsson.

Russia widened its lead in the second and third periods, with Tatyana Burina scoring on the power play in

the middle stanza and Sosina picking up her second goal of the contest with Sweden’s net empty in the final seconds of the third.

The quarter-final was at times was a parade to the penalty box, with Sweden serving five minor penalties at Sandman Centre and the Russians six.

Sara Grahn wasn’t able to propel the Swedes to victory as she had done throughout the preliminary round, instead surrendering three goals on 26 shots. Russian netminder Nadezhda Morozoa, meanwhile, helped stabilize

a Russian crease that surrendered 21 goals in its first three games of action in Kamloops.

With their ticket for the semifinals booked, Russia will now turns its attention to the United States. The Americans handed the Russians their worst loss of their preliminary round, an 8-0 defeat on Thursday evening.

The game will be played at Sandman Centre on Sunday at 3 p.m. The winner will move on to Monday’s gold-medal game, while the loser will play for bronze the same day.

The Finns have another date with the Canadians.

In a rematch of Thursday’s preliminary round tilt, Finland will have another shot at the Canadians in a semifinal tomorrow, with the winner moving on to the gold-medal game of the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Championship.

Puck drop is 7:30 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

Finland earned its berth in the semis with a 5-0 victory in a quarter-final matchup against the Czech Republic last night, guaranteeing the squad will vie for a medal for 17th consecutive time in the history of the women’s world hockey championship.

The colour of that medal will be determined tomorrow.

Yesterday’s matchup with the Czechs started as a tight affair, with neither team finding the scoresheet in the first period.

Klara Peslarová continued what

has been a strong tournament in the Czech Republic’s crease, making 13 saves in the first to fend off the Finnish onslaught, while Meeri Räisänen made four saves, keeping the game scoreless while Finland tried to solve Peslarová.

It was midway through the third period before Finland broke the deadlock. With her team on the penalty kill, Riikka Väilä slipped the puck past Peslarová for the 1-0 lead. With the shutout broken, the Finns struck twice more in the second, with Tanja Niskanen scoring on the power

play and Venla Hovi adding an even-strength marker to give Finland a 3-0 lead at the break.

In the third, Finland scored twice more — power-play goals, both Michelle Karvinen’s — to secure the 5-0 win. Karvinen, who finished with three points, wasn’t alone as Väilä, too, finished with three and Hovi, Jenni Hiirikoski and Niskanen two apiece.

The Czechs’ Peslarová finished the night with 34 saves, while Räisänen was perfect in the eight times she was tested.

The Japanese are on the verge of relegation.

Japan lost the first game of a best-of-three relegation series against Switzerland yesterday afternoon, falling 3-1 on McArthur Island.

Game 2 goes tomorrow at 1 p.m., also on McArthur Island.

It was the Japanese that opened the scoring on Friday, with Yurie Adachi putting a shot past Swiss goaltender Florence Schelling just 1:49 into the first period play.

But the goal seemed to wake up the Swiss, with Anja Stiefel scoring the equalizer, her first goal of the tournament, at the seven-minute mark. Switzerland’s leading scorer Christine Hueni later slipped a shot past Nana Fujimoto to give the nation its first lead of the relegation series.

In the second, Lara Stadler extend the lead to 3-1, the eventual final score, again beating Fujimoto, this time less than three minutes into the frame.

The Swiss outshot the Japanese by a 27-15 margin and two of the nation’s three goals came with the man-advantage.

Schelling made 14 saves in the victory, while Fujimoto stopped 24 shots.

The loser of the series will be relegated to Division 1 Group A for the 2017 IIHF Women’s World Championship. Its place in the elite division will be taken by Germany, which won the Division 1 Group A tournament earlier this week.

LUNCH BUFFETTUESDAY - FRIDAY11:30AM - 2PMSweden entered the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Hockey

Championship in Kamloops as a team known for faltering in pressure situations.

Yesterday’s quarter-final loss to the Russians won’t do much to much to dispel that reputation.

Sweden can now finish no better than fifth in Kamloops, despite compiling an undefeated record in the preliminary round and winning its group.

The Swedes entered the 2016 worlds having failed to qualify for a medal game in the last four championships, a trend extended to five by virtue of their quarter-final loss in Kamloops.

Sweden has twice won bronze in the history of the women’s world championship, defeating Finland in 2005 in Linköping and Norrköping, Sweden, and again in 2007 in Winnipeg and Selkirk, Man.

The Scandinavian nation has won two Olympic medals — a silver in the 2006 tournament in Turin, Italy, and the 2002 event in Salt Lake City.

In Kamloops, the Swedes depended on the work of goaltender Sara Grahn for much of the tournament. Through three games in the Swedish crease, she was tied with Canadian Emerance Maschmeyer for the tournament’s best save percentage (94.64 per cent) and led in goals-against average (0.97).

But the loss to the Russians gave Grahn’s numbers a hit. She enters the fifth-place game with a 92.59 save percentage and a goals-against average of 1.49.

Offensively, Sweden has struggled to put the puck in the net in Kamloops, scoring only eight goals through four games. The club doesn’t have a scorer in the tournament’s top 20.

Emma Eliasson, whose goal and two assists ties her for the team lead in points, is the club’s leader on the back end, cited by head coach Leif Boork as the nation’s top international player on defence.

Anna Borgqvist, who led the Swedes in scoring in the 2015 world championship in Malmö, Sweden, and Pernillia Winberg, who tied for the lead in scoring in the Sochi Olympics, had been expected to lead their club offensively in 2016, but have just three points combined.

Though the medals are officially out of reach for Sweden, a win on Sunday may be the only way to avoid what would be viewed as a regression for the national program at the world championship.

WELCOME WORLD WOMEN’S

IIHF CHAMPIONSHIP

It seems everyone on Team Canada can recall their Hayley Wickenheiser moment.

For Meaghan Mikkelson, it was at a pre-game skate in her first world championship in Harbin, China. Wickenheiser skated up to the wide-eyed defenceman and gave a simple piece of advice — “See it, do it. Don’t overthink things.”

For Jennifer Wakefield, it was her first 4 Nations Cup, her first opportunity to play with the most decorated player in women’s hockey history.

For weeks, her grandma had been pestering her to get Wickenheiser’s autograph and Wakefield, initially resistant at the prospect of asking a teammate for a signature, finally caved.

“I think I just remember being super nervous to ask her for an autograph because my grandma kept bothering me for it,” Wakefield said, laughing.

Wickenheiser, of course, happily signed.“When I gave it to her, she was on Cloud 9,” Wakefield said

of her grandmother’s reaction.For Laura Schuler, now Canada’s head coach in Kamloops, it

was a 16-year-old Wickenheiser offering to give up jersey No. 22, which she had taken the previous year when she made the team at 15 and Schuler had been released.

“At the time, the very next year, she came up to me and said, ‘Hey, I know you wore this number first, would you like it back?’” Schuler recalled.

“I said, ‘No, you keep it.’ I just ended up taking 27. But you know, that’s the type of person she is, that leadership, and one of the reasons why she’s on this team — girls look up to her. She’s a class act.”

Jillian Saulnier’s Wickenheiser moment dates back more than 10 years.

Saulnier, not yet a teenager, had her name drawn for a skate with Wickenheiser in Halifax. On the ice with the woman who would be her hockey hero for the rest of her youth, the now 24-year-old Saulnier vividly remembers Wickenheiser putting her hand on her helmet and saying, “Maybe we’ll be linemates one day.”

In 2016, more than a decade later, it happened.“I went to try and tell her — I was too nervous to tell her,

because I didn’t know if she was going to remember,” Saulnier said, her smile spreading ear to ear.

“So the other day there, after the Clarkson Cup, I went to tell her and I was like, ‘Yeah, when we were younger, you put your hand on my head and you said maybe—’ and she cut my off and she said, ‘Maybe we’ll be linemates one day?’ She remembered. It was pretty special.”

Fans in Kamloops no doubt have Wickenheiser moments of their own.

Maybe they are of the longtime captain standing arm in arm with her teammates at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, a gold medal around her neck, an impossibly big smile on her face.

Maybe they’re of a poster that hung on a bedroom wall, the face of Canadian women’s hockey flying down the right wing, the puck on her stick soon to be in the back of the net.

Maybe they are of Kamloops in 2016, Wickenheiser appearing in her 13th world championship, her No. 22 hanging on a handmade sign outside Sandman Centre, the Canadian crowd breaking into spontaneous cheers each time her name is announced on the public-address system.

Whatever the moments are, the 37-year-old has left an everlasting impression on a nation of hockey fans.

Asked about the memories she has created for her teammates, many of whom grew up watching her play, Wickenheiser is humble.

“I don’t really think about it like that, I guess. I just played and played hard,” she said.

“It’s a little strange, when they show me pictures of us and I had taken a picture with them when they were a kid or whatever. We have a lot of good laughs at that. It’s kind of strange, in a way, that time has gone by, but it’s the evolution of the game as well.”

Whether or not she has thought about it, Wickenheiser has inspired a generation of hockey players, many of them young girls. She has filled the TVs of many, the dreams of more.

Perhaps Meghan Agosta put it best.“It’s something that she should be proud of and Canada’s

very thankful for Hayley Wickenheiser,” she said.

POSITION FORWARDHEIGHT 5-FOOT-7WEIGHT 148 LBS.AGE 29 YEARSHOME TOWN RUTHVEN, ONT.CURRENT TEAM HOCKEY CANADA

When Meghan Agosta walked away from hockey to pursue a career with the Vancouver Police Department (VPD), she knew the path she was taking wouldn’t be an easy one.

A star in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League, Agosta had just finished leading the Les Canadiennes de Montréal — then the Stars de Montréal — to back-to-back Clarkson Cup finals.

She was the reigning two-time Angela James Bowl winner as the league’s leading scorer. She had broken the CWHL’s single season scoring record. She was just a few years removed from an outstanding NCAA hockey career and had won three Olympic gold medals.

But Agosta knew she wanted both — to be a police officer and a hockey player. So, in the fall of 2014, she hung up her skates and enrolled in police academy.

Now a constable with the VPD, Agosta is using her annual leave to again wear the Maple Leaf, this time for the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Championship in Kamloops, flying down the wing of Canada’s top line with centre Marie-Philip Poulin and winger Natalie Spooner.

“It has been very challenging, but I’m up for the challenge,” Agosta said of balancing a career in policing while playing elite hockey.

Perhaps most difficult is training for Canada while on shift work.

“Eating at different times, sleeping during the days — let’s face it, when my teammates are playing, eating and sleeping, I’m working,” the 29-year-old continued.

“But again, that’s the challenge that I’m up for and there’s no doubt in my mind that I’m going to be able to overcome that. Just one day at a time for me, but I’m very fortunate to be able to do both.”

Through three games in Kamloops, Agosta notched just one assist, but played perhaps her best game on Thursday against Finland.

She admits staying on top of her

game has a challenge — one made all the more difficult by Vancouver’s lack of a women’s hockey program. She gets some playing time with the Vancouver Police Department Centurions and practises with Langley’s Valley West Hawks of the triple-A B.C. Major Midget League.

She has made sacrifices to continue her playing career — her free time and any prospect of a vacation, for starters — but that doesn’t feel like anything new for the forward, who is tied for 12th all-time in Canadian scoring at the women’s world championship, sharing the accolade with longtime captain Cassie Campbell.

“I feel like ever since I was a little girl, my life has been made up of sacrifices,” Agosta said. “Again, to be able to have a career and to be able to continue playing for this country, it’s an honour and a privilege — it’s not a right.”

Agosta will be back to work the day after the gold-medal game in Kamloops, patrolling Vancouver’s streets with the VPD. She plans to take Team Canada alumnus and TSN broadcaster Tessa Bonhomme — also an Olympic gold medallist — on a ride-along later that week, an experience that apparently has Bonhomme both excited and nervous.

Agosta said she takes neither her experience in Kamloops nor her place with Team Canada for granted anymore. She’s going to do everything she can to stay at the top of her game and be available for events like the 2017 world championship and the 2018 Olympic Winter Games,

She hopes the road she has taken, balancing policing and elite hockey careers, can be an example for others.

“I look at playing for Canada a whole different way than I used to, that’s for sure,” she said.

“Looking back now, yeah I have three gold medals, but it’s not about the gold medals that I’ve won. It’s about trying to inspire the up-and-coming generation, the young boys and girls, to do something special in their lives.”
