Finland has won the ice hockey world championship after a dramatic overtime victory over Canada in Sunday evening's final in Tampere. The title is the fourth overall for the Lions or Leijonat following previous wins in , and , and marks the first time Finland have won the championship on home ice. An overtime goal by Sakari Manninen secured the historic win in front of an ecstatic Tampere Arena crowd. The first penalty of the game had led to the first goal, when Finland's Niklas Friman was sent to the penalty box for two minutes at the beginning of the second period and Canada took full advantage of their extra numbers to score through Dylan Cozens. Finland equalised at the beginning of the third period when a succession of penalties saw Canada reduced to just three players plus their goalkeeper on the ice, and the pressure finally told as Mikael Granlund pounced on a loose puck to fire into the net. The goal proved to be a double blow to Canada, as netminder Chris Driedger was injured while attempting to save Granlund's shot and had to be replaced by Matt Tomkins — who was making his first appearance in this year's tournament.
