Canada finishes first
Team Canada wrapped up first place in Pool B with a 10-0 win over Italy before 500 fans at the Jose R. Cepero Stadium in Ciego de Avila, Cuba. So in the good news department thats pretty good news. In the better news department Canada, with its 4-1 mark, will play Panama Sunday in the quarter-finals, as Panama finished fourth in Pool A, with a 2-3 record. And in the even better news department Cuba faces Team USA.in another quarter-final match-up which means one of the baseball super powers will be knocked out. DH Jonathan Waltenbury (Whitby, Ont.) hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the first and Canada added two more in the fourth, two in the fifth and three in the sixth as Cory Hall (Regina, Sask.) threw seven dominant innings.
Hall allowed three singles and struck out seven, while walking one. The game was halted after the eight due to the 10-run mercy rule.

Korea beats Canada
A lack of offence was a concern throughout the 22nd World Junior championships.
And it was a major difficulty in the semi-final as Korea held Canada to four hits in the semi-final, a 6-1 Korea win. Rather than playing Team USA for gold, Canada will now play Mexico for bronze.
A win would have given Canada a chance for only its second gold-medal and first since 1991 at Kindersley, Sask. Canada has won the bronze medal four times before: in 2002, 1997, 1987 and 1983.

Canada is leaving the world womens under-20 soccer championship earlier than ever before.
And the fact that the Canadian women put on their best showing of the tournament in a 1-0 loss to favoured China on Wednesday will do little to ease the long flight home.
Canada (1-2-0) finished third in Group B behind China (3-0-0) and Nigeria (2-1-0). Only the top two in the group advance to the quarter-finals.

Whitehorse raring to go as 2007 Canada Winter Games approach
The 2007 Canada Winter Games are less than five months away and the mayor of Whitehorse is looking forward to the exposure they will bring to the countrys north.
