Swedes started the championship with a clear victory

The team with golden ambitions entered the tournament successfully. At the World Junior Championship in Brno, Sweden dominated the first game against Germany, which they destroyed by eleven goals.

Overall, the Swedes succeeded 13:2, showing superiority from the start of the match. Except for a 1:2 reduction, Germany never got closer to the score difference and their opponent controlled the game. In the individual statistics, Hjalmar Hjorth dominated thanks to three points, scoring one assist in addition to his two goals. Mattias Lövenfors also scored twice.

The referees dealt with an unusual situation during the game. They watched the Swedish chance on video and checked the potential goal, but they did not award the goal to the Northerners. Germany also resisted a penalty shot, which was successfully saved by substitute goalkeeper Henrik von Wagenheim. So far, Sweden has caught up with its rival Switzerland at the top of group B, with the same amount of points and goal difference.
