World Junior Championship Gold Medal Game
Hartwall Areena, Helsinki 🇫🇮
Saturday, 03 January 1998

Finally, Finland wins the IIHF World Championship for the first time. And the victory couldn’t have been sweeter.

It is inconceivable that Canada, a country virtually unbeatable for the first 30 years of IIHF history, all of a sudden could not win a Gold medal at the World Championship. But after the Trail Smoke Eaters won in 1961, year after year passed, and Canada failed to win Gold.
