COACHES´ REACTIONS

Kevin Marchuk (CAN): I'm happy. The boys played with heart, shot each other, we were active, we ran and finished situations. We have been waiting a long time for this championship, which could not take place due to covid. We enjoy every game.

Bastian Steiger (SUI): It was a match with a strong opponent. We could only surprise. Unfortunately, it is a big loss.
