Cozzolino's 2 goals leads Canada win over China at para hockey worlds
Social Sharing Dominic Cozzolino scored twice as Canada wrapped up the preliminary round at the world para hockey championship with a 4-2 win over China on Tuesday. Cozzolino leads the tournament with seven goals. Adam Dixon scored the game-winner while Mathieu Lelieve had the other goal for Canada. Corbin Watson stopped 13 shots as Canada outshot China 25-15. Canada finished first in Group A at 3-0 and will face either the United States or Czechia in the semifinals. "It's nice to finish off the round robin with a win," Canada assistant coach Greg Westlake said. "It's fun to be in a close, competitive hockey game. It's good for our sport." Westlake said the Canadians showed persistence when the shots weren't going in early in the game. "You could really see today how tight of a team we have," he said. "You're trying and trying, getting lots of shots but nothing is going in° you just have to stay with it." After winning its first two games over Germany and South Korea by a combined score of 23-0, Canada got a much tougher test Tuesday. Canada and China were tied 1-1 after two periods, with Dixon's winner coming with less than 10 minutes left. "There was no panic at all in that room," Cozzolino said of dealing with a close game. "We know what makes us a great team and we stuck with it. I was proud of the guys. "We didn't waver at all, didn't get frustrated and I think the end result shows that. Every line just kept pounding the rock as we say, and it led to success."

Rare but ‘catastrophic' bacterial infection behind NSW children's deaths
A rare but highly aggressive infection that surged after the lifting of COVID restrictions probably contributed to the death of two-year-old Pippa White, as well as resulting in the deaths of at least four more children in NSW, an inquest has heard. Associate Professor Kathryn Browning Carmo, acting director of the NSW Newborn & paediatric Emergency Transport Service (NETS), told an inquest into Pippa's death on Tuesday that hers was one of the first 'in a series of cases' of Group A streptococcus (iGAS) the emergency service dealt with over a two-year period. Carmo said NSW was largely 'immune naive' to what appeared to be a more aggressive form of the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes when doctors at Orange Base Hospital called for NETS assistance around 6am on June 13, 2022, hours before Pippa's death. The infection was rare but could lead to 'devastating, crashing and catastrophic' cases of sepsis in children, Carmo said, noting that some children could go from having very little water in the lungs to 'complete whiteout' on scans 'within hours'. 'It was that aggressive … it was an absolutely devastating illness,' she said. An academic paper co-authored by Carmo and read in court showed the NETS team were referred to 77 cases of children with iGAS between November 2022 and February 2024. Four died from the infection. In the previous five years, they had responded to just nine cases.
