|  CANADA WINS THE GOLD MEDAL Team Canada won the World JR Tournament in overtime this afternoon against Sweden. After pulling within one goal on a power play goal early in the third period, Sweden scored with the extra attacker on the ice with 45 seconds left to tie the game.
Canada came back in overtime to win 3-2.
This is Canada's 4th straight Gold Medal in this tournament.
Steve Mason, Canada's goalie in the last 3 games won Tournament MVP, Top Goalie Of The Tournament and the 3rd Best Player For Team Canada in the Gold Medal game. Steve has been the goalie for the London Knights who play in the OHL. He was traded to the Kitchener Rangers of the OHL on Jan.3. The Knights traded him for 3 players as they will try to rebuild for the 2008 season.
Earlier in the day Team USA were defeated by the Russian's 4-2 in the Bronze Medal game.
BTW, I am shocked that not one other member of this "WORLD WIDE FORUM" has not commented about this hockey tournament in this thread. Either no one is visiting the forum, or there is only one hockey fan on this forum and that would be me. |
