Canada has ended four years of American dominance at the world under-18 men’s hockey championship.

Frederik Gauthier’s second-period goal stood as the winner as Canada rallied past the United States 3-2 to win the world title.

The Americans had a 2-1 lead at the midway point of the game and outshot the Canadians for all three periods 35-12.

“The U.S. are defending champions and they have been in this tournament for four years,” said assistant coach Jody Hull. “I think we were a bit nervous at the beginning and we weren’t able to get out of it but we stuck with it, we stayed with what our focus was and stayed on the process.
