I would like to thank all Canadian fans for the kind words I have seen in the comments, for the fact that you do not think about Czech team as something less but as a worthy opponent! Congratulations for the GOLD medal and cheers from Czechia! :) It was a great game.

The Czechia goal keeper deserves a gold medal just for his performance. Well played both teams, was awesome game.

I’m Canadian and I’m super happy we won gold for the second time in a row, but seriously the Czechs deserve a lot of credit. They did AMAZING this year and it’s nice to see them win a medal. They beat us the the very beginning and were unbeaten until the gold medal game. Hope to play against them in the gold medal game again in the future! 🇨🇦🤝🇨🇿

This was a great year for Czechs! 2022 IIHF Men’s WC Bronze 2022 IIHF Women’s WC Bronze 2023 IIHF Junior WC Silver! The dark decade is finally over!

What a thrilling final! I was on Czechias side, but I couldn't believe that the Czechs scored 2 goals in under a minute. Anyways Congrats to Canada! Well played Czechs. From Finland🇫🇮

Hats off to Czechia, they played fantastic! 2nd time seeing Canada's second ot golden goal since 2022! Congrats, Canada!

What a great crowd at Halifax in the final. Respect for Canada fans who created beautiful atmosphere. Greetings from Prague.

Overtime against Canada on Canadian ice is like climbing Mt. Everest. A Czechia win would've been their 'Miracle On Ice' story. Hats off to both teams. What an incredible tournament it was this year.

Fantastic effort from the Czech. All tournament long they were dominant, and fought till the very end. Hold your heads high, be proud of your accomplishments and all that you proved in this tournament. Fantastic team, great country and amazing fans. Gg, and best of luck next WJ’s in Sweden 🇨🇦🤝🇨🇿

Congrats Team Canada! Much respect to a great Czech team that surprised everyone and battled all the way to the end.

No idea how many Czechs/Czechians will see this but your team should be proud of themselves. They played amazing hockey. Suchanek should be heralded as a hero for the performance he put in especially after one of our players ran him over.

There were some lean years for Czechia but it looks like the country is producing quality players in bunches again. Best thing ever for hockey. No one will ever forget the contribution that Jagr and Hasek made to the game.

Glad Canada won but you gotta feel for the Czech goalie played a unbelievable tournament

I think the true winners are the hockey fans. What a tournament this was. Really sad that our boys didn't win the gold cause they really deserved it, but so did team Canada. I'm sure that this generation of hockey players will bring much joy to the game. Congrats to team Canada and as for my Czech team: I'm proud of you and I don't think that any true hockey fan will think about this silver medal as a loss.

Canada is a powerhouse, b2b gold, 4 straight finals, 5 gold in last 10 years.

Chlapci, nesmutněte. Odehrát dva vyrovnané zápasy s Kanadou na její půdě, vrátit se do ztraceného zápasu a málem jej i otočit je obrovským úspěchem. Smutnit by měly předešlé výběry, které od Kanady dostávaly sedmičky a ještě měly tu drzost mluvit o super partě. Ano, budou tam slzy, ale není důvod, aby trvaly dlouho. Stříbro za prohru v prodloužení s nejlepším týmem světa má punc zlata. Díval jsem se na to v Torontu v baru a při obou golech řval jako pominutý. Ti distingovaní kanadští příznivci se vzmohli jen na větu: "Are you happy now?" I kámoš Kanaďan měl pro Čechy jen slova chvály. Tohle stříbro je potřeba náležitě oslavit. Docení ho až s léty. Kéžby dvacítka takhle vydržela hrát více let po sobě. Nádherný zážitek!!!

This was the best tournament for us in many many years! I'm so proud of our Czech team. We fought till the very last shot and showed the world the quality we have. Congrats to Canada for winning the gold and for hosting such an amazing tournament! All the best to everyone! :)

Czechia did so well and they made it an exciting game! I was cheering for Czechia, but hey 1st medal since 2005 gotta feel good. Greetings from Finland

As a swede, I take my hat off for the Czech. Amazingly well played 💪

Was at the tournament and can proudly say the crowd was rocking the whole time! Fantastic game and overall tournament by Canada, Czechia as well should be so proud. What an experience and what a team!

Congrats to Canada! Speed of your players is insane, true hockey country. Greetings from Czech Republic (Czechia)

Czechia deserves a massive amount of respect. They dug down deep and tied the score, late in the third. But Canada played extremely well and Guenther 'got it done'. All of Canada is proud of you!!

Congratulations to CAN, Respect to CZE. Fantastic game!!!

Czechia. I gotta give it you. We had to beat into the 3rd period and well. You came back and made us work for the gold. What a game. Also Tomas Suchanek you deserve a freaking extra medal. GUTSY performance after almost getting taken out of the game. If I where in Halifax tonight and seen you, I'd buy you a drink..

Czechia has proven themself to be a good team for years to come. great game!

Huge props to Suchanek for staying in the game and battling hard throughout the game. Both teams played exceptionally well and should be proud of their accomplishments.

Same scenario as SLOVAKIA vs Kanada...i was watching this match whole night and i was so sad when our brothers lost...🇸🇰♥️🇨🇿

One of the best U20 tournament, every match was great.

As Czech fan, it saddens me I couldn't keep my eyes up for the final third. I simply lost all hope after the second period and now I hear we were THIS CLOSE to winning. Huge congrats to Canada! You were a mammoth of an opponent and I'm so happy our boys were able to challenge you as much as they did. Ultimately, it didn't go our way, but what a game this was!

As a Canadian, I'm very proud to win at hockey but as a Canadian I'd also like to give respect to the Czechs for a fantastic performance throughout the tournament and for such a major accomplishment in taking home the silver. ;)

LET'S GO CANADA, WE DID IT!! Gold medal number 20 for us! However, Czechia put up a great fight. They never gave up in any game and truly had a tournament to remember. Hats off to them

Yo, seriously...INSANE effort from Czechia here! I'm Canadian, and was playing poker in a local bar during this game. At 2-0, I announced that I wanted 2-2 instead of a Canadian blowout. Then I got the 2-2 that I asked for, and *immediately* started sh*tting myself. lol Overtime = anyone's game. It could have just easily been you guys. I'm happy that Canada pulled it off, but there's nobody in this tournament I would have rather lost to than Czechia. Czechia played as a TEAM more than anyone else, and deserved every part of their path into the finals. Jee-jee, dudes.

They should show the player's handshake at the end. I think it's a display of respect people should always see ! ❤️🥇🎉🇨🇦

I'm very pleased to read so many respectful comments. This is the way :-) Nice game, congrats Canada, hats off to Czechs

Even though Canada had all the superstars it was the strong team play of Chechia that almost stole the game for them. Congrats to team Canada on winning the gold medal! Greetings from Finland!

Absolutely amazing tournament by Czechia. You guys gave everyone all they could handle and then some, and it just boiled down to a few minutes in OT during the rematch. FANTASTIC tournament. Much respect from Canada.

unbelievable tournament,good team Chechia, respect from Russia✌✌

This is so much more entertaining than NHL hockey

Gotta congratulate Suchanek (sp?) on his amazing game even after getting hurt.

Halifax needs to hold this tournament every year what an unreal atmosphere and game. Great game from both Canada and Czechia best WJC I can remember.

As a fellow Canadian I feel heavy for Czech! What a quick last minute comeback only to come just shy of winning. Congrats Canada and well played Czech!

that Czechia goalkeeper is god

Hey Czechia. Man your guy's hockey future is exciting. It's good for the game when you guys are good. More countries that can compete with Canada is a good thing.

Still find myself coming back to watch this 6 months later, amazing game

celý zápas som vedel, že to ešte vyrovnáte. váš tým hral úžasne a bojovali až do konca. síce to nie je zlato, no získali ste striebro. celé Slovensko je na vás hrdé. 🥈🇨🇿🤝🇸🇰. pre mňa ste zlatí

Chlapi, díky za skvělou podívanou. Zlatou jste u nás měli ještě před začátkem hry. Dopadlo to, jak to dopadlo, ale to absolutně nevadí. Ať vám to takhle hraje co nejdéle, neuvěřitelnej zážitek.

Lots of praise for our team in the comments, I have to return some of it :) Well deserved victory for Canada, our second goal was extremely lucky so I believe the gold medal went to the better team. But I'm glad we made it to the OT, at least it was worth watching the game until 3:30 AM of our time :)

Tomas Suchanek, you are a legend. SO many great saves! Great game.

Big win for Canada, Czechia played Amazingly. I screamed when we won lol.

Czechia were incredible... considering how stacked Team Canada was.

A great game between both teams.this is hockey at it's best.I live in the United States and was rooting for Canada. Canada and the United States are great hockey rivalries Men and Women. Both teams in this game were great.

And the Czechs - well done! They haven't lost a single game in regular time. A wonderful generation!

Massive respect for Berdard's post game interview. Way to go CANADA!!! back to back Champs!!!

Can we give credit to the Czechia goalie for playing through a injury

Altought it's not gold, I am still very proud for our team! 🇨🇿🥈💪

The fact that no NHL team drafted Tomáš Suchánek is nuts, in 2021 NHL Central Scouting had him ranked #6 overall. He plays for Tri-City in the WHL a league where a goalie's stats cant be taken seriously because of a mismatch between teams and a very high amount of scoring. He's 19 so Im not sure if he still has to be drafted or whether a team can just sign him but if Im a team with some extra cap and a space in the AHL I'm signing this guy immediately to a entry level contract. Worst case scenario he doesnt work out, you loan him to a Czech team where he'll probably sign after the contract runs out and he ends up being a long tenured Goalie in one of the top Euro leagues but I was impressed with this guy the entire tournament and especially in this loss to Canada where he stayed on the ice despite being wiped out and held a Canadian team with absolute Future Superstars on it to only 3 goals this game and only 2 the first game of tournament. He led the entire tournament in Goals allowed average 1.38 and saves percentage .939, the only teams to score more than 1 goal against him were Canada & Sweden which were both 3-2 losses and his only losses with a 5-2 record.

That was legendary! Hats of Czechia!

Like I've said before in another video, 2023 WJC is damn insane, all teams are pretty equal strength but in the end one had to win. Czech hockey is great, stay strong dear brothers, much love from Canada.

I wouldn't have chosen any other team than Czech to play the gold medal game against. They were strong the entire tournament and played their hearts out and as a Canadian, that earned all of our respect. Good game and much love to our Czechoslovakian friends

Halifax deserved to see Canada win. Amazing fans, amazing people, amazing city.

That 🇨🇿 silver medal deserves a little gold embedded in it. What a game!

What a game, I thought it was hart attack in the making!!! I don't know what it is but Canada vs Czechs or Slovakia always provides great games. This Czech team played their hearts out, what series this would have been if it was best of 7!!! Game 7 Overtime !!! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇿

Huge respect to Czechia this year, came SO close! Great tournament and final from both teams.

That Czech goaltender, man. Hats off

I'm Canadian and cheer for Canada, but if the Czechs had won, I would be happy for them, and would have went to bed contented. They played a hell of a game, and honestly a part of me even wanted them to win. It's been a while and few for them, and I always have a place in my heart for the Czechs and Slovaks. I mostly cared that we beat the US. lol

Гра просто супер!!! Молодці канадці, молодці чехи! Просто мав хтось виграти.

Thank you Halifax for your beautiful presentation of this world cup which was won by our juniors!!! …. You guys are amazing!

Czech have a pretty freaking awesome team this year great game 🇨🇦 Woohoo

Huge congrats to Czechia for a game well played! As a Canadian, I wouldn't have been too disappointed had Czechia won instead. They were going for their first gold in over 20 years(!), while Canada was going for the first back-to-back gold in 10 years. Also, the Halifax fans were fantastic!

I was supporting the Czech team from the start. How can I not support the team that comes from the same country that makes my superb Skoda Karoq. Pity about the result.

What a game. Havent watched hockey (of any sort, whether its NHL or Juniors) since 2015, but this tournament got me back into it. What an amazing display from our boys, and Czechia for absolutely making this game more intense than it needed to be. What a final, and congrats to both teams for amazing performances. Glad to see Canada stays flourishing in our beloved sport.

All I wanted was a match worthy of the finals. After all, even silver would taste bitter after a beating. Instead, I got a game that could have easily earned us gold. Congrats to Canada, this was an absolutely great tournament (I loved that we started and ended it together) and after all these years, even the silver is a balm to my soul.

First of all, guys, no only did the refs call a great game, what a call by the crew chief to start the game. Better than before a boxing match even!!! "k guys. Play tough, play fair, don't forget to enjoy huh?" *Drops puck* LEGENDARY 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Czechia played an amazing game, they never gave up. I was feeling they were coming for us in those last 10 minute and I saw Canada getting sluggish. And lo and behold they turned it into a hockey game. 👌. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, they put it on the line; they did they're darnedest. Hockey is a beautiful game and this one in particular will go down as one of the great World Junior Finals. Edit: wasn't sure about the other words were with the ref at the start. Might have been "ok, here we go"

Astonishing team Czechia had for the world juniors. What a toss up. Superb goaltending.

Great game, great tournament. Congratulations Canada and kudos to Czechia for their strong play. These were the best two teams and rightfully deserves their gold and silver respectively.

Wow,, this was a game for the ages. Czechia played their hearts out and when the game was tied,, I thought they could have won a gold for the first time in 22 years. Congratulations team Canada for winning gold.

The Czechs were amazing, can't wait to see many of these young players in the NHL. Amazing goaltending by both keepers, but Suhanek coming back from that near injury to have a stellar game was truly impressive. Congrats on being the only team to beat Canada in the tournament and on the silver!

Hats off to the Czech keeper , stayed in the game while injured .dude needs to be drafted this summer.

What an electric game from both teams. Czechia had a lot of fast, aggressive, smart players, not to mention their goaltender had an incredible game, especially considering how much Canada outshot Czechia. Any team that makes it to OT in a big game like this more than deserves to be there in my eyes. Canada just played a little smarter in the OT and hammered it home.

Goddamn Roy had an amazing tournament and what a pass for the game winning goal!!

Can't.stop.watching.highlights.

LETS GOOOOO I WAS AT THE GAME AND IT WILL BE AN EXPERIENCE I WILL NEVER FORGET!!

Lots of heart from the Czech team!

I got nothing but respect for the Czechs, hell of a game for you guys. Keep your heads up you played so well and deserve all the praise for how your team played.

I was cheering for Canada, and I Dont know why but I felt sad for czech! Like the goalie and everyone were so sad! How do athletes cope with losing in big moments!!!

Ya gotta feel for Czechia. Great job boys !! hold your heads high from a very respectful Canuck.

this overtime was so stressful

Czech goalie, WOW!

To make the gold game you have to be good, and Czech made it there, the fact that it went into overtime is incredible and you all should be proud

Bloody impressive showing by Czechia .. they almost scored the winning goal in the third and also in overtime. Fantastic job, Team Canada. I just loved the way the shot from the team bench shaked, rattled and rolled when the final goal was scored.

Tomas Suchanek was a beast!!🔥

Literally the most stressful game of hockey I've watched in ages. Was ready to celebrate with how good canada was playing and a minute later it's 2-2. Czechia played absolutely amazing though. They definitely should keep their heads held high!

Congrats to Canada and huge respect to Czechia!

Heave Away! Let's go Canada 🇨🇦. Great Job by Czechia tonight and the tourney in general. Y'all will get it some time in the next 3 years. Halifax and Moncton thank you for being great hosts and you could tell it was loud from just watching at home and i can only imagine how loud it was in person. Love from Saskatchewan. Cheers 🥂.

Piękny mecz , brawo Czesi

This was by far the tightest 1st to 4th positions I have ever seen. The Chzech deserved the gold, Canada the silver, Sweeden the bronze and the USA 4th. Just being an honest Canadian. Congrats to all.

The Czech team should be extremely proud. Czechia played incredibly well, are highly skilled (That goaltending!!!), and a loss in OT is to have played within fingerprints of the Gold Medal. Congratulations, Czechia on a series very well played. With how well you battled, you should have immense pride. Even though I cheer for Canada, if Czechia had won this series, I would have been happy for both teams. See you on the ice again soon!

Im Canadian and was super happy when we won. But the Czechs played incredible and almost clutched up. They would have definitely deserved the win. I love how they didnt get de-moralized and kept fighting to the end. I wish them all the best luck next year and i look forward to meeting on the ice again. Good game! 🇨🇦 🤝🇨🇿

I took my Canada jersey off to have a shower and Czechia scored two goals. Needless to say I put it back on and waited...

Wow this was a close game! Good job to Canada :D but respect to Czech for giving ur their all till the very end
