Hedqvist scores a hat trick for Sweden in 8-0 rout of Norway at women's hockey worlds
CESKE BUDEJOVICE, Czech Republic (AP) — Ebba Hedqvist scored a hat trick for Sweden in an 8-0 rout of newly promoted Norway at the women's ice hockey world championship on Tuesday. Sweden won Group B with four wins in four games and will face Finland, the third team in Group A, in the quarterfinals on Thursday. Norway, which was promoted to the top division after a 27-year absence, was fourth in Group B after winning one game and will be relegated together with another newcomer, Hungary, which finished pointless at the bottom. Mira Hallin, Lina Ljungblom, Jenna Raunio, Josefin Bouveng and Hilda Svensson also had a goal each and Ida Boman made 16 saves in the Swedish net. The United States won Group A and completes the preliminary round later Tuesday against Switzerland. Canada will finish second in the same group. The quarterfinal opponents for the two north American favorites will be determined by the result of a Group B game between Japan and Germany. ___ AP women's hockey:

Sweden pulls away from Germany in 3rd period to take women's hockey worlds opener
Sweden defeated Germany 5-2 to open the women's hockey world championship on Wednesday in the Czech Republic. Hanna Thuvik scored the first goal of the tournament 10:34 into the opening period for Sweden. Mira Hallin doubled the lead midway through the second in a Group B game. Luisa Welcke reduced the German deficit to 2-1 in the second period before Anna Kjellbin and Thea Johansson both scored in the third for Sweden. Emily Nix netted in the third for Germany on a power play with Hanna Olsson finishing off the five-goal Swedish tally by scoring into an empty net. Later Wednesday, the United States faces Finland in a Group A match between last year's runner-up and the bronze medalist. The host Czech Republic -- bronze medalists twice in the last three tournaments -- plays Switzerland also in Group A. The U.S. and defending champion Canada are the tournament favourites, continuing a long-standing cross-border rivalry. Canada has won 13 world titles followed by the U.S. with 10 spanning the previous 23 championships. Finland is the only other team apart from Canada and the U.S. to reach the final, doing so in 2019. Canada opens its title defence against Finland on Thursday at 1 p.m. ET. The 12-day, 10-nation tournament in the southern Czech city of Ceske Budejovice represents the final major international tune-up before the 2026 Winter Games in Italy. The teams are divided into two groups for a preliminary round. All five teams from Group A and the top three from Group B qualify for the playoffs. The bottom two from Group B, which also features Japan, Norway and Hungary, are relegated.
