Nolan Maier (pictured) of the Saskatoon Blades needed to make only 15 saves to record the shutout as Canada blasted Switzerland 10-0 to finish off opening day play at the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup in Edmonton and Red Deer.

Maier’s Bridge City Bunch team-mate Kirby Dach had a goal and an assist for the Canadians who play Slovakia Tuesday night.
