Liam Hickey of Holyrood came out on fire in Canada’s first game at the 2024 Para Cup yesterday.
Hickey netted a hat trick in Canada’s 9-2 victory over Czechia at the tournament in Charlottetown, P.E.I.
That was good enough for First Star honors at the event on Sunday.

Team Canada’s next game, which will be livestreamed, is tonight against China at 7:30 p.m. Newfoundland time.
It’s a rematch of the Para Worlds semifinal thriller which resulted in a come-from-behind 2-1 victory for Canada.
Hickey is competing in the same tournament in which he played his first-ever Para ice hockey event as a member of Team Canada in 2016.
This year’s tournament is also taking place at the same venue – MacLauchlan Arena on the UPEI campus in Charlottetown.
