Canada finished the tournament with a perfect record, seven wins without a loss, including an earlier 6-3 win over the Finns during the preliminary round. They have now won their record 19th all-time gold medals at the World Juniors. The win also marks the 15th time in 16 hostings that Canada has earned a medal, the lone exception coming in 2019. For Finland, they take silver, their fifth U20 medal since 2014.
Canadian forward Tyson Foerster was stellar for the host country through the tournament finishing in the tournament with 6 points (6 points, 3G, 3A). The Philadelphia Flyers star was a force of nature scoring goals for the powerhouse Canadians consistently throughout the tournament.
