One-sided matches are common at the World Junior Championship. When powerhouses like Canada, the USA or Sweden take on the likes of Germany or Kazakhstan, we’re treated to 10-0 games.
But games with a 15-goal deficit are quite rare. In Asia, however, the opposite is true. On the very first day of the IIHF U18 2024 Asian/Oceania Cup, Thailand crushed Kuwait 57-0.
No, that’s not a typo…
Final score is 57-0 for Thailand 
Shots were 122-1 in favour of a Thai team which had many players from their #U18MensWorlds team that won D3B bronze this year.
It was the debut at the U18 level for Kuwait

The full match is on YouTube if you have a few hours to spare.
57 goals is almost a goal a minute. Thailand took 122 shots on goal and only allowed one. ONE!
Poor Kuwait goalkeeper… I was watching the start of the match and the keeper was having a lot of trouble moving around. I don’t think I’m wrong in saying that a Canadian U15 team would have done better.
But this wasn’t the only one-sided encounter. In another match, Mongolia, who had narrowly beaten Kuwait a few days ago, planted India 32-0. It wasn’t 57-0, but a 32-goal victory is still pretty incredible.
I can’t wait to see if the medal matches get any closer…
In short
