Brett Brochu stopped 18-of-20 shots in Canada’s net for the win.

Sebastian Cossa and Dylan Garand split duties in U Sports’ net. 

Cossa allowed four goals on 22 shots before giving way to Garand, who turned away 22 of 25 pucks.

Tyson Helgeson and Jake Gricius scored for U Sports.

Cossa, Brochu and Garand were the only goaltenders invited to selection camp and had thus secured their berths on the Canadian team.

Thirty-five players were invited to the four-day camp, but defenceman Jack Thompson of the Sudbury Wolves was disinvited because of COVID-19 protocols.

University of Michigan forward Kent Johnson also  didn’t report because of COVID-19 issues, but Hockey Canada senior vice-president of hockey operations Scott Salmond said Thursday that Johnson would be on Canada’s team.

Salmond expected Johnson to join the team during its preparations in Banff this week.
