Victoria Royals forward Cole Reschny has won gold with Team Canada at the 2024 Hlinka Gretzky Cup.
Reschny and his teammates beat Czechia 2-1 in the final on Saturday, Aug. 10, in Edmonton, Alta. With the win, Canada secured their third Hlinka Gretzky Cup gold medal in a row.
At the tournament Reschny paced Team Canada鈥檚 scoring, having tied for the team lead with seven points in five games played. The Macklin, Sask. product centred an all-WHL first line alongside Medicine Hat鈥檚 Gavin McKenna and Vancouver Giants forward Cameron Schmidt.
Reschny, who is gearing up for his second season with the Royals, opened the tournament with a tremendous performance versus Switzerland by netting two goals and adding three assists for a five-point evening. He would go on to score a highlight-reel goal in Canada鈥檚 semi-final victory over the United States.
Reschny and the Royals will be back in action on Sept. 20 at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre for the Royals鈥� home opener versus the Tri-City Americans.
