Team Canada captured bronze Sunday in what could be a preview of who to watch in next year's World Junior Hockey Championship.

Canada defeated Switzerland 5-2 to win a bronze medal at the IIHF U18 World Championship for the second straight year and third time in four years.

Swift Current Broncos forward Glenn Gawdin lead the way for Canada with two goals while Moose Jaw Warriors goaltender Zach Sawchenko stopped 28 of 30 shots. 

The gold-medal game goes this afternoon between Finland and the United States.
