Canada won the Hlinka Gretzky Cup for the third straight year after defeating Czechia 2-1 in Saturday's gold medal game from Edmonton.
Liam Kilfoil of the QMJHL's Halifax Mooseheads and Caleb Desnoyers of the QMJHL's Moncton Wildcats opened the scoring for the Canadians with goals in the first period. Canada weren't able to find the back of the net in the second period on seven shots or the final period on five shots.
Czechia winger Tomas Poletin gave his side slight hope late in the third period when he scored with nine seconds remaining in the game, but it was too little, too late.
Canada goalie Jack Ivankovic stopped 18 of 19 shots from Czechia while the Canadians had a total of 26 shots on net.
