On the eve of the biggest game of their lives, Team Canada's players spent some time at the Ostrava Zoo. It was the first day away from the rink for Team Canada since Christmas Eve and a chance for the players to have a mental rest and build some chemistry ahead of their semifinal matchup against Finland. Mark Masters writes.

On the eve of the biggest game of their lives, Team Canada's players spent some time at the Ostrava Zoo.

"We wanted something where the guys could go outside and get some fresh air and have some laughs and a good time together and not think about the game or anything else, just a good time," said Tourigny. "We heard good references on the zoo so we went and the guys loved it." After the quarterfinal win, head coach Dale Hunter was asked where he wanted his team to continue to grow and the London Knights bench boss cited chemistry.

These are the type of games where one mistake can be the difference. Just ask American Jack Drury whose third period penalty led to the only goal in Finland's quarterfinal win. Coping with the pressure of this moment is paramount. Team Canada assistant captain Ty Dellandrea calls this the biggest game of his life. But it's far from the only big game he's played. Dellandrea helped Canada win gold at the 2017 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup.
