Looks like Canada’s team carted it all the way to the capital of the Czech Republic, and they brought it all the way back home.

There was no way the players were going to give up the world indoor lacrosse championship shield.

“We earned it,’’ said captain Colin Doyle. “We were a great team.

“There’s no doubt about that. Our roster was stacked with talent. This was a team that came here for a purpose and was focused and driven. It was an unbelievable experience with these guys.’’

Doyle of Kitchener, Ont., and the NLL’s Toronto Rock, is a repeat world champion. Many others on the team were first-timers.

“I’m just happy to be a part of this,’’ said elated defenceman Bill Greer as he and his teammates headed into the heart of the city for a celebratory gathering. “It’s an absolute honour to be part of this team.

“It’s such a great group of guys. We played a team defence to shut opponents down and we knew our offence would pile up some goals. We let them do their job and we did our job.’’

There were many facets of Canada’s domination of one and all, and the goaltending of Matt Vinc was repeatedly mentioned during post-game interviews.

“Vino was unbelievable,’’ said Greer of Oshawa, Ont., and the NLL’s Edmonton Rush.

“Vino stood on his head,’’ said Iroquois Nationals forward Cody Jamieson of Six Nations and Vinc’s teammate with the NLL’s Rochester Knighthawks.
