LAKE PLACID, N.

Lawson Womens Jersey .Y. -- Canadas womens hockey team didnt play its best
game in its Four Nations Cup opener, but it was enough to beat Finland 3-1.
Rebecca Johnston, Natalie Spooner and Vicki Bendus scored for Canada, which is
playing this tournament without star forward Hayley Wickenheiser and five other
veterans. Canada scored two goals in 1:34 in the first period and wound up
outshooting Finland 39-23. "We were a little soft," said forward Meghan
Agosta-Marciano, who assisted on Spooners goal. "We need to be able to chip the
puck a little more, come out of the zone together and come with speed, and thats
something that we kind of lacked a bit tonight. Thats not the best hockey that
were going to be playing this tournament." Coach Dan Church praised his teams
adjustments in the third period but said the consistency needs to be better.
"Finlands a tough team to play against because they clog the neutral zone and
theyre very good at their neutral-zone forecheck," he said. "We didnt make an
adjustment in the second period, but I thought the third period we did a good
job." Finlands only goal came in the third period, when Tea Villila scored on
the fifth of six power plays to make it 3-1. Canada took seven minor penalties
but Johnstons goal, from Haley Irwin and Brianne Jenner, came on the power play.
Goaltender Charline Labonte stopped 22 of the 23 shots she faced. "Charline had
a solid game in net for us, turned aside a bunch of shots and was consistent
back there," Church said. In addition to Wickenheiser, Canada is without
experienced forwards Caroline Ouellette and Marie-Philip Poulin and defencemen
Meaghan Mikkelson, Lauriane Rougeau and Laura Fortino, who are getting a rest.
Church wants to win the Four Nations Cup, but this tournament is also about
evaluating players for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. "Its a prestigious
tournament, and its an important step on the road to Sochi. But there are things
that we need to do to build our team," he said. "We brought 21 players here that
are going to play all four games, and thatll be an important process for us
selecting our team down the road, leaving some players behind in Calgary." Those
in Lake Placid, N.Y., have their sights on winning now and worrying about Sochi
later. "When I think Canada I think winning every single opportunity we have in
any game or any tournament," Agosta-Marciano said. "Its great tournament to kind
of see where everybodys at, and at the end of the day we want to come out of
this on top." Canadas next game is Wednesday night against the United States,
which it has already defeated twice recently. This is a renewal of that rivalry,
even with some of Canadas best players not participating. "I think itll be good
to see some of our younger players, having some of our more experienced veterans
at home in Calgary, its an opportunity for them to step up," Church said.

4-3 on Friday night.OTTAWA - Mired in a nine-game losing streak, the Ottawa
Redblacks cant be blamed for feeling desperate for a win. While players and
coaches will say theyve come close and theyre doing good things, the losing
streak is taking its toll. The one and only victory for Ottawa (1-11) came way
back on July 18 against the Toronto Argonauts. Two weeks ago the Redblacks
suffered a heartbreaking 35-32 overtime loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders
despite having the lead for much of the game. Last week the Redblacks had to
deal yet again with disappointment when they were unable to take advantage of
what looked like perfect scoring situations and settled for a 15-7 loss to
Montreal. Losing is wearing thin, and not just for Ottawa. This week the
Redblacks host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (6-7) who are dealing with their own
four-game losing streak. You can watch the game live on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4 and TSN
GO at 7pm et/4pm pt. The next games the biggest game for us, said head coach
Rick Campbell. Were scratching and clawing to get wins just like everybody else
does. We have the same approach to come out flying around and try to make a
couple more plays and try to get a win. Campbell says he cant allow his team to
look at the Bombers as an easy target. Were focused on ourselves, Campbell said.
We think we have a big future ahead of us here. Were working hard everyday to
get better and we respect all the people we play and theres a lot of good teams
in this league and Winnipegs no different. Theyve done a lot of great things
this year and were going to have our hands full, but were going to focus on us
and playing the best football we can. Still, Campbell acknowledged that the
losses have taken their toll on the group. Were hanging in there, but its tough,
Campbell said. Its tough to lose games and tough to lose close games, but we
think we have a lot of right parts tto our team here and our guys have the right
attitude, but we know we have to work hard and get better as fast as we can and
start winning some of these close games.

Jersey. It seems so long ago, but the Redblacks opened the season against
the Bombers scoring on their first three drives. Ottawa went on to lose 36-28,
but had a solid outing leading many to believe the young expansion team might
surprise football fans. Even players admit that first game was reason to have
hope. Coming out like we did and scoring on our first three drives it seemed
like our season was going to be a very successful season, said wide receiver
Marcus Henry. Unfortunately thats just how football is, you never know how its
going to go. Were getting better and were a good team. The way weve been losing,
like in the last minutes of the game, have been tough, but thats just going to
build our character. Henry says despite the losses the team is able to remain
resilient because theyre able to see improvement. It might not be evident in the
overall standings, but Henry says there are some good things that the team can
focus on. Were a lot more confident in what were doing and were used to the
system now and just used to everyone thats around us so I think thats a big part
of it, said Henry. What does bode well for the Redblacks this Friday is the way
the defence has played at TD Place. It hasnt allowed a touchdown on home field
in three of the last four games. Weve done really well on defence so far, but we
still need to do better, said defensive lineman Keith Shologan. We havent won
enough games, so when it comes down it we havent played good enough for that
reason. Our goal is for each of us to do better, starting with (Fridays) game.
Notes: Dobson Collins replaces Carlton Mitchell at receiver. Defensive back
Jermaine Robinson will also be in the lineup.
