The Americans failed in the final against Canada, just like a year ago at the World Cup or at this year’s Olympics. And once again they lost by a goal. The winners created a key advantage in the middle of the match, when Jenner made a twist twice. First in five against five and then in numerical advantage. Although Roque managed to reduce the score 21 seconds before the end of the second period, the Americans failed to equalize.

Canada thus won the twelfth gold at the World Cup, the Americans the twelfth silver. Both teams have always met in the final so far. In the semifinals, both confirmed their dominance against European teams. The Americans beat the Czech team 10: 1 and the Canadians beat the Swiss 8: 1.

The cup of bitterness at the World Cup was drained to the bottom of Finnish hockey players. After being eliminated in the quarter-finals with the Czech team (1: 2 in extra time), they unexpectedly lost to the Japanese 0: 1 after separate forays into the match for 5th place on Sunday. Suomi players overcame opponents 61:16, but Miju Masuharová shone in the Japanese goal.
