Team Canada Eliminated From WJC by Czechia

Team Canada had to leave Sweden a lot earlier than they thought they would. Indeed, they got eliminated from the World Junior Championship during the quarterfinals a the hands of Team Czechia.

While many star players were missing on Team Canada's roster, it still surprised many fans to see the team lose that early.

At the end of the third period, with only a few seconds left, Czechia scored the game-winning goal, sending Canada packing.

Check it out:

After the game, a shocking development was shared by TSN's Gord Miller.

Team Canada Players Receive Hate Messages and Threats on Social Media After Quarterfinals Loss

According to Miller, many fans sent hateful messages to the players after the tough loss.

"I understand that people in Canada are disappointed with the QF loss, but it's disheartening to hear that some of the players are being subjected to nasty personal messages on social media. There's no need for that, they did their best and lost. Two years ago Canada won a gold medal in OT after a miraculous goal line save by Mason McTavish, last year they won the QF in OT on Conor Bedard's goal after a deflected Slovak shot hit the shaft of Thomas Milic's stick. It happens."

No athletes should receive hateful messages after a loss. It's already a difficult period for them, and this only makes things worse.

Canadian defenseman Oliver Bonk even had to make his Instagram account private after he received hostile messages.

"Oliver Bonk put his Instagram on private after being attacked by Canada fans for a play that wasn't even his fault.

Bonk's shown how open he is about his mental health and for grown adults to attack a kid playing in a hockey tournament for teenagers is sick and disturbing."

More to come.
