Reactions
Ian Moores (coach, Team Canada): "It was good game. We knew it was going to be a tough game against Greece. A couple years ago in Switzerland, they actually beat Team Canada, so there was a little bit of revenge in our minds. To get the first win with the extra point it is big for us. In next game, we have to stay out of the penalty box."
