-
Canada vs Denmark in senior men’s hockey fell in a 2-1 result at the 2025 IIHF World Championship, with Denmark pulling off a surprising upset and advancing to the semifinals. This was highlighted as a historic win for Denmark over Canada, and Canada faced an earlier exit risk in that tournament. If you’re looking for the exact scoreline and progression, that upset is the standout headline from the 2025 Men’s Worlds coverage.[2]

In the 2026-World Juniors context, Canada dominated Denmark in a 9-1 rout, with Gavin McKenna scoring a hat trick and Canada building momentum ahead of key group-stage and knockout games. This matchup is part of Canada’s strong junior-age program and is frequently revisited in pre- and post-game analyses for that event.[1][7]
