Canada beats Denmark 10-0 at women's hockey championship

Canada defeated host Denmark 10-0 at the women's hockey championship in Herning on Monday, remaining undefeated at the tournament.

Emma Maltais scored twice, and Laura Stacey had a goal and two assists. Jessie Eldridge and Sarah Fillier each had a goal and an assist. Kendall Cooper, Sara Manness, Renata Fast, Rosalie Tremblay and Kristin O'Neill also scored for Canada.

Sophie Jaques, Chloe Primerano, Caitlin Kraemer and Ella Shelton each had two assists, and 18 of Canada's 20 skaters registered at least a point.

Kayle Osborne made six saves for the shutout. Canada leads Group A on nine points from three regulation wins.

Canada brought a significantly younger team to Denmark than the one that won a silver medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Captain Marie-Philip Poulin is out for the foreseeable future after undergoing knee surgery. Veteran forwards Natalie Spooner, Sarah Nurse and Blayre Turnbull, along with goalie Emerance Maschmeyer, are among the other veterans not with the team.

Rosalie Tremblay is 18 years old, while Chloe Primerano and Sara Manness are 19. Manness scored her first senior national team goal on Monday. Tremblay scored her second, after scoring her first Sunday in Canada's 9-0 win over Japan.

"We've been learning a lot as a group, especially with lots of new players, and I think we've been doing a good job learning from each game," O'Neill said.

"It was great that lots of different players were able to get some offense tonight. It's a good sign for our group," O'Neill said.

Denmark goalie Caroline Bjergstad surrendered six goals on 41 shots before giving way to Aya Juhl Petersen midway through the second period. Petersen allowed four goals on 33 shots in relief.

"(Canada is) one of the best teams in the world, so we knew it would be hard, but we gave our all," Bjergstad said. "It's been impressive to see how our young players play in this tournament."

Canada ends group-stage play Wednesday against Finland.
