Quotes:

“When we talked before the game, it was nothing about Czechia, it was all about us and what we needed to do. We wanted to play hard, be physical and force them to play our game. I think we did a good job of getting back to our game and it worked out well tonight.”

- Smith on message in the room prior to the game.

“This is an excited room. We have a lot of guys playing in their first tournament, so for them to play for gold is a great experience and a real honour. For us now, we have to remain focused and not stray away from our game.”

- Dunn on the gold medal game vs the United States.

“You have to almost play a perfect game vs. the Americans. You can’t make too many turnovers at either blueline, we can’t be handing them free offensive looks and power plays all night and if we get an opportunity, we have to make it count.”

- Head coach Russ Herrington (Unionville, Ont.) on the gold medal game matchup
