LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Jenelle Kohanchuk saw an opportunity, so she made the best of it at just the right time. Kohanchuk scored twice as Canadas womens hockey team defeated Finland 6-3 on Saturday for the gold medal at Four Nations Cup. The 23-year-old, who was participating in her first Four Nations Cup while Canada chose to leave behind six veterans, including Hayley Wickenheiser, was humbled to have such a huge part in Canada claiming gold. "Its such an honour for me to be a part of this," said Kohanchuk. "This is the first time Ive been part of any cup. Its true motivation with the Olympics coming up to know we are a gold-medal team." Canadas head coach Dan Church was more than pleased with Kohanchuk and her linemates Vicki Bendus and Gillian Apps, who stepped up their games despite playing on the fourth line. Bendus also scored for Canada and earned an assist on each of Kohanchuks goals. "Jenelle and her line were really good, maybe the best tonight," said Church. "They outworked whoever they were up against." Brianne Jenner, Jennifer Wakefield and Haley Irwin also scored for Canada while goaltender Charline Labonte stopped 19-of-22 shots for the victory. Riikka Valila, Susanna Tapani and Anna Kilponen scored for Finland. Goaltender Noora Raty gave Finland ample opportunity to compete with Canada as she turned away 39 shots. "Shes a game changer for them," said Church. "She can steal games. Maybe the best goaltender in the world, you cant take her lightly." "She is competing to be the top goalie in the world, she knows her angles very well," added Kohanchuk. "We were told to come in crash the net and get in front of her." Kohanchuk opened the scoring for Canada 2:25 into the opening period, however Valila responded for Finland less than four minutes later. The Canadians kept the pressure on and Bendus regained the lead at 7:37. Wakefield and Jenner added a goal apiece before the period was finished to make it 4-1. The three-goal lead was exactly what Church wanted from his team. "(That) was really important for us," said Church about the early lead. "That cushion allowed us to weather the storm when we werent playing well a little bit in the second and third." Kilponen scored early in the second period for Finland and the game remained 4-2 until the third period as Raty turned back all 17 shots her way in the middle period. Kohanchuks second goal of the game came 46 seconds into the third period and gave Canada extra breathing room as Finland changed its game plan for the final 20 minutes. Tapani scored for Finland at 6:49 to make it 5-3 and Finland continued to play desperate, outshooting Canada 10-9 in the final period. "They changed tactics and brought more pressure," said Church. "They (even) pulled their goalie with four minutes left." Irwin added Canadas final goal with just six seconds left on the clock. Canada went 1 for 7 on the power play while Finland scored twice on two chances with the man advantage. "I would have liked to have done better on the penalty kill and well work on that moving forward," said Church. This was the 13th gold medal Canada has earned at the Four Nations Cup while Finland captured silver for the second time in tournament history. John Cyprien Jaguars Jersey .

The 33-year-old outside linebacker was an unrestricted free agent.HAMILTON, Ont. -- Dan LeFevour stole the spotlight from Henry Burris on Saturday night. LeFevour threw for 361 yards and a touchdown and rushed for a game-high 109 yards and a TD in his first CFL start, leading the Hamilton Tiger-Cats past the Ottawa Redblacks 33-23. Burris was making his first appearance in Hamilton since being released by the club in January after it signed Zach Collaros as a free agent. Burris served as the Ticats starter for two seasons and led the squad to a Grey Cup appearance last year while also tutoring LeFevour. Although LeFevour spoiled Burriss return, LeFevour downplayed any suggestion the game was about the quarterbacks. "It had nothing to do with him," LeFevour said. "It was just good to see him. "I talked to him during the week and after the game . . . he was encouraging me. Hes a great guy, he really is." LeFevour, 27, was an impressive dual threat for Hamilton (1-3). He completed 21-of-30 passes while also running 13 times, his one-yard TD at 9:44 of the fourth snapping a 23-23 tie. The big play was LeFevour hitting C.J. Gable on an 83-yard screen pass that, with a horse-tackle penalty, put the Ticats at the Ottawa one-yard line to the delight of the Ron Joyce Stadium sellout of 6,500. "You saw what a competitor he is," Hamilton coach/GM Kent Austin said. "Real strong will to win, threw the ball well. "Early on he pulled the ball down a little too soon but finally settled in and let the game come to him some more. He just really had a command of the offence." For the first time this season, Gable was a key figure in Hamiltons offence. The speedy running back ran six times for 62 yards and a TD while adding three catches for a team-high 105 yards as the Ticats rolled up 558 total offensive yards. Burris, 39, finished 27-of-44 passing for 290 yards and two TDs and an interception while throwing his first interception of the season. Ottawa (1-3) pulled into a 23-23 tie on Brett Mahers 23-yard field goal at 4:41 of the fourth. "He did a good job," Burris said of LeFevour. "He ran the offence, got the ball to his playmakers and made some plays. "Im proud of him. I just wish he wouldve saved that for another night but kudos to him." Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell said LeFevours legs were key to Hamiltons victory. "Hes a runner, if you give him escape lanes he makes you pay," Campbell said. "We were trying to get him to hold the ball, which he did a couple of times, but he made some plays with his feet . . . then we gave up some huge plays. "Him and Gable, theyre good athletes and youve got to be right on those guys because they make big plays.ddddddddddddquot; The Redblacks were coming off their first-ever win, an 18-17 home decision against Toronto last week, and Marcus Henry certainly did his part with 10 catches for 138 yards and a TD. But Burris said his club hurt itself against the Ticats. "We found ways to hurt ourselves," he said. "We had more opportunities to put more points on the board. "This was one of those matches where the last offence that had the ball was going to win the game. Hamilton did a good job of making big plays, we didnt make enough big plays. We cant be shooting ourselves in the foot in those key situations." The game was the Ticats home opener and their first in Hamilton in 21 months as last years home contests were played at the University of Guelph while Tim Hortons Field was being built. Saturdays contest was supposed to open Tim Hortons Field but construction delays will force the team to play at least its first two home games at McMaster. Hamilton hosts the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night. Brandon Banks had Hamiltons other touchdown. Medlock added the converts and four field goals. Matt Carter scored Ottawas other touchdown. Maher had the converts and three field goals. Medlocks 36-yard field goal capped an entertaining first half and earned Hamilton a 20-17 advantage. It was set up by Craig Butlers interception that put the Ticats at their own 45-yard line. The contest began at a fever pitch with TDs on the first three possessions. Banks took LeFevours shovel pass 53 yards for the score on the second play from scrimmage just 58 seconds in before Burris countered with a smart 13-play, 96-yard march he capped with a 10-yard TD toss to Carter at 7:35. But Gables 47-yard touchdown run on the Ticats fifth offensive play at 9:29 put them ahead 14-7 as they opened by gaining 158 yards on their first five plays. NOTES -- LeFevour became the Ticats third different starter this year after Collaros (head injury) and Jeremiah Masoli started the earlier contests . . . Saturdays game was the first between Hamilton and Ottawa since Oct. 21, 2005 when the Ticats downed the former Renegades 40-32 . . . Ottawa entered weekend action tied atop the East Division with Toronto and Montreal. The last time an Ottawa club was first in the East was Aug. 19, 2005 when the Renegades were 5-3 but they lost their next six games to fall from playoff contention . . . Ottawas scratches were defensive lineman Nigel Romick and tackle Nate Menkin while Hamilton`s were receiver Greg Ellingson and defensive lineman Arnaud Gascon-Nadon.
