Team Canada recovered from giving up two quick goals in the third period by Czechia that forced overtime
HALIFAX — Canada got the revenge it desperately carved — and is golden again at the world junior hockey championship.
Czechia — the country commonly known as the Czech Republic — finished fourth in summer and earned its first medal since 2005. The United States picked up a wild 8-7 overtime victory against Sweden to take bronze. Milic, who made 43 saves in a 6-2 semifinal victory over the Americans, was excellent again as the period wore on with stops on Kulich and Martin Rysavy.
Wright watched every world junior final on his birthday growing up, and the crowd responded after his goal by singing "Happy Birthday" for the Canadian captain.
