Canada - Junior hockey champions!
Author: admin
Canada won its fifth consecutive World Junior Hockey Championship beating Sweden 5-1. This is quite an accomplishment considering that they were 5 seconds away from being eliminated in the semi-final game against Russia. But the kids took note of this game and started strong against Sweden with a goal by P.K. Suban at 0:38 of the first period. They never lost control of the game after this finishing it with 2 goals in a empty net. 17 years old John Tavares was named MVP of the tournament and really showed to the NHL scouts that he is 1st pick material in the next draft in front of Sweden defenseman Victor Hedman. Sweden was definitely the most talented team of this championship but one thing is true in any team sport: you can have all the best individuals that doesn’t mean that you have the best team. Congrats Canada!
