The United States won back-to-back gold medals for the first time and host Canada lost for the second year in a row in the quarterfinals.

OTTAWA — Teddy Stiga is the overtime hero for the United States at the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship in Ottawa, leading them to a 4-3 OT victory over Finland on Sunday evening at the Canadian Tire Centre. Team USA has repeated as champions for the first time in their history at the tournament.

Michigan State hockey was without star goaltender Trey Augustine, but for good reason, as he was with Team USA at the world junior championships. This was the third straight year he played with the American team, and it is now officially the third straight medal winning performance.
