Ivar Stenberg’s Canada Debut Comes With A Costly Lesson

The stage at the IIHF World Championships is supposed to be a showcase, but one penalty against Canada can stick to a young player fast. That is the part of international hockey that veterans know well: one mistake and everybody in the building notices. Stenberg has now given NHL fans a reason to file his name away, for better or worse.
