“I am so proud of this group. I know the score says what it says, but I would have been proud if it was a 1-0 game because of how well we played and the way everyone bought in to what we wanted to accomplish,” said head coach Ryan Oulahen. “This group will be remembered for playing the Canadian way. We got better every single day, and tonight was 60 minutes of exactly how you would want to draw things up. This is an impressive team that is led by an impressive staff, and I am going to remember this experience forever.”

England, who suits up for the Seattle Thunderbirds in the Western Hockey League, is fresh off his rookie season in the WHL, where he scored 21 goals and 30 assists for 51 points in 64 games.

Selected by the Thunderbirds in the first round, 11th overall at the 2024 WHL Prospects Draft, England registered 17 multi-point performances during the 2025-26 season.

At the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, he notched four goals and an assist for five points in five games. This was good enough for ninth most on the Canada roster.

The medal marks Canada’s 31st at the annual summer under-18 tournament, capturing 26 gold medals, three silver, and two bronze.
