Team Canada loses pair of shootouts at Winter Olympics for Youth

Shootouts have not been kind to Team Canada's hockey team at the Youth Winter Olympics in South Korea.

Canada, and Okotoks Bow Mark Oilers goalie Carter Esler, lost 6-5 to the U.S. in a shootout yesterday in their final round robin game.

That dropped them to the bronze medal game where the shootout did them in again, losing 5-4 to Finland finishing the tournament out of the medals.

They had beaten Finland 4-1 earlier in the tourney.

The games were played with only three 15-minute periods with a 3-on-3 format.
