Canada got back in the win column at the world junior hockey championship. It wasn’t pretty. Oliver Bonk, Caden Price and Mathieu Cataford, into the empty net, scored as the wobbly host country picked up an unconvincing 3-0 victory over Germany on Sunday in Ottawa. Carter George made 25 saves to register the goaltender’s second straight shutout for the Canadians, who were coming off Friday’s stunning 3-2 upset loss to Latvia in a shootout. Nico Pertuch stopped 33 shots for Germany, which dropped its Group A opener at the men’s under-20 tournament to the United States 10-4 before falling 3-1 to Finland. Canada entered with a 17-0 record all-time and a combined 107-26 score against Germany at the world juniors, including last year’s 6-3 victory in Gothenburg, Sweden, and an 11-2 drubbing at the 2023 event in Halifax. Despite another sub-par performance, the victory sets up a New Year’s Eve matchup against the U.S. for first place in the pool after the Americans fell 4-3 to the Finns in overtime earlier Sunday. Canada suffered one of the powerhouse nation’s worst defeats in tournament history Friday when Latvia — outscored 41-4 in four previous meetings at the event — shocked the hockey world. And while the plucky Latvians were full marks for their victory, the Canadians were largely disjointed and surrendered the middle of the ice for long stretches despite firing 57 shots on goal. There was more of the same Sunday. Head coach Dave Cameron made a couple of changes to Canada’s lineup — one out of necessity and another for tactical reasons. With star defenceman Matthew Schaefer, who could go No. 1 at the 2025 NHL draft, out of the world juniors after suffering an upper-body injury against Latvia, Vancouver Canucks prospect Sawyer Mynio drew in. Cameron also sat forward Porter Martone in favour of Carson Rehkopf. Canada opened the scoring on the power play, which also had a new look after going 1-for-7 through the first two games, when Bonk scored from his normal bumper position in the slot off an Easton Cowan feed at 9:40 of the first period. Sam Dickinson then chimed a one-timer off the post on another man advantage before George, who was in goal for Canada’s 4-0 opener against the Finns, made a couple of stops on the penalty kill inside a red-clad Canadian Tire Centre. Petruch made a big stop off Tanner Howe in the second before also denying Calum Ritchie from the slot on a power play, but the Canadians again looked completely out of sorts against what was a decidedly inferior opponent on paper. Berkly Catton hit another post for Canada early in the third. Tanner Molendyk also found iron. Unable to register a 5-on-5 goal against either Latvia or Germany through more than 120 minutes of action, Price scored on a shot that caromed off the end boards and went in off Pertuch with 4:58 left in regulation to make it 2-0 before Cataford iced it into the empty net on another nervy night for the 20-time gold medallists. The U.S. beat Latvia 5-1 on Saturday, less than 24 hours after the Europeans’ upset of Canada. American captain Ryan Leonard said the Latvians were impressive — even on short rest. “That team’s no joke,” said the Washington Capitals prospect. “You can’t really treat anyone different, especially in this short of a tournament.” Germany will meet Latvia on Monday in a crucial game at the bottom of the Group A standings. Canada now turns its attention to Tuesday’s clash against the U.S.Celebrating what would have been his 220th birthday on Nov. 23, members of the Pierce Brigade, N.H. National Guard and Beaver Meadow students gathered to honor Franklin Pierce, the only Granite Stater to serve as U.S. President, at his grave in Old North Cemetery on Tuesday. “Franklin Pierce was not a perfect man, but he was a good man who was dedicated, worked hard, and believed in serving his state and his country,” said Col. Richard Oberman, medical commander and deputy director of the Joint Staff at N.H. Army National Guard. “For that, he’s the kind of role model we should try and emulate every day, not just once a year. Happy Birthday, thank you, Frank.” Beneath a shower of November sleet, a wreath sent by the White House each year in the president’s memory was laid at his headstone. Born in a Hillsborough cabin, as Oberman noted, Pierce was the nation’s 14th president, elected in 1852 and serving one term in one of the fiercest periods of American history. Pierce’s father, Benjamin, had been governor, and Franklin got his start in politics young: When sworn in at age 48, he had already been a state representative and speaker of the N.H. House of Representatives, and served in Washington as a congressman and later a senator from New Hampshire. He also served as a brigadier general in the Mexican-American War of the late 1840s. Other than the time he spent in Washington, Pierce lived in Concord for much of his adult life. The home he and his family shared from 1842-1848, the Pierce Manse, was rescued from demolition at its original Montgomery Street location in 1971 and relocated to its current site overlooking Horseshoe Pond. The Pierce Brigade, volunteers who led the work, maintain it today as a historical site. Pierce’s later home on South Main Street, where he retired after his presidency and where he died, burned down in 1981. Oberman highlighted Pierce’s character, describing him as caring, brave and even mischievous. “He would be the kid in school who would stand up for you if you were being picked on, help you if your locker was stuck or if you were having trouble with your math homework,” he said. “Franklin would also be the classmate who would tell you a funny joke or pull a prank on someone.” He also, Oberman noted, “earned the nickname Handsome Frank because he looked so very young for his age.” Pierce was considered affable and had a successful legal career outside politics, but his personal life was blanketed by tragedy. He and his wife, Jane, lost their three sons young, including 11-year-old Benjamin, who died in a train accident just months before his presidential inauguration. The Pierces entered the White House childless. Amid rising tensions between pro- and anti-slavery powers, Pierce was a compromise candidate: He was a northerner who did not own slaves but was also a member of the Democratic Party — at that time it dominated Southern, pro-slavery states — who argued that the U.S. Constitution allowed slavery. Pierce won dominantly, and he embodied a belief at the time that peace and the status quo could be preserved through successive compromises and concessions. He is known for endorsing the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which paved the way for slavery to expand into the West and led to a violent power struggle in the newly settled territories. He was also passionate about foreign policy and was an expansionist and a fiscal conservative. Oberman alluded to this mixed legacy, but emphasized that Pierce was driven by a desire to serve all his life and “focused on what he thought was the best for the country and its people.” Uniquely, Pierce spent almost all of his presidency without a deputy: Vice President William King died from tuberculosis just a month after taking office and was never replaced. Only two vice presidents served shorter terms — John Tyler and Andrew Johnson both became president after Presidents William Henry Harrison and Abraham Lincoln, respectively, died. At a time when primaries were party affairs and not public elections, Pierce was denied renomination by the Democrats in 1856 in favor of Pennsylvanian James Buchanan. He eventually retired to Concord, continuing his political involvement and taking up farming. He died of cirrhosis in 1869, according to the White House Historical Association. “Almost 220 years later, we stand by their gravestones to remember Franklin’s life and his legacy of serving others, especially people who are less fortunate,” Oberman said.
