Gerard Gallant steered the youngest team to Gold at the the World Championships in Latvia. Nick Paul scored the golden goal to give Canada a 3-2 win over Finland to close tournament. What makes this even more impressive is they started 0-3 out of the gate but clawed back in it and ultimately took the title.

Team Canada’s comeback coincided with Andrew Mangiapane joining during the preliminary round. Against Norway, he scored the game winning goal in his first game. However, they still needed help to get into the medal round. When Germany knocked off Latvia in regulation, that kept the host nation from taking Canada out of the 4th seed.
