Chris Kelly and Andrew Ebbett had two goals apiece to help Canada defeat the Czech Republic and earn a bronze medal in Pyeongchang.

Andrew Ebbett and Chris Kelly scored twice as Canada beat the Czech Republic to win bronze in men’s hockey at Pyeongchang.

Ebbett opened the scoring 8:57 into the game before the Czechs responded 16 seconds later to make it 1-1.

Canada needed just 15 seconds to re-take the lead, when captain Chris Kelly tipped home Cody Goloubef’s point shot.

Goals from Derek Roy, and another from Ebbett opened up a 4-1 lead for Canada, which medalled for the third straight Olympics.

The first Olympic hockey tournament without NHLers since 1994 will see the Olympic Athletes from Russia team face the underdog Germans later in Saturday’s gold-medal game.
