Canadian juniors take home bronze at World Junior Championship

Canada’s World Junior hockey team finished with a medal. But not the one they wanted. The team won the bronze medal of Finland last night with a 4-0 shutout of Finland.

Canada’s gold medal hopes were dashed after a loss on Tuesday from Russia. Canada scored four goals in just under five minutes to come within a goal of the Russians. But it was not meant to be. 

Russia went on to the silver medal after losing to Sweden 1-0 in overtime.

Canada’s goaltender Mark Visentin was the hero for Canada’s bronze medal win.

Seven players are eligible to play again for the team. But many will like be scooped up by NHL teams by that time.
