The battle for the gold medal will be an European affair at the 2016 World Junior Championship.
The two semi finals saw a Nordic matchup between Sweden and Finland as well as the classic USA-Russia matchup.
Sweden 1 - Finland 2
Sweden entered the semi final with a perfect record. They had won ever game they had played and breezed through the quarterfinals without much issue.
The Finns on the other hand had seen one defeat, against Russia, and the hosts were motivated by a desire to play for gold in front of their home crowd.
