For GB to be within two goals of their quality, shows how far the programme has come in recent years. GB went down 4-2 against the world’s number one side Canada, in their opening game at the World Championship in front of a crowd of 16,935 people at the O2 Arena, in Prague. There are not many teams in the history of the sport who can live with Canada. Coach Pete Russell's side, featuring Sheffield Steelers Robert Dowd, Sam Jones and Cole Shudra, can all one day tell their grandchildren of that accomplishment alone. They rocked Canada when ex-Steeler Kirk had the audacity to put the Brits ahead. The game left plenty of questions to be asked by Canada - but none of GB, who showed tremendous resilience and courage.
