The junior crowns fell against Canada

The match was the first that the Junior Crowns play on North American ice during the run-up to this year's Junior World Championships.

Canadian Brady Martin opened the scoring 39 seconds into the second period, before Viggo Björk equalized for Sweden on the power play a few minutes later. The Swedes otherwise reaped the rewards of their numerical superiority, with a total of one goal on five power plays in the game.

Herman Liv, son of Tre Kronor legend Stefan Liv, guarded the basket and saved a total of 22 of 24 shots.

The JVM tournament starts on December 26th.
