GM Steve Yzerman has added another gold medal to his resume, but this time it came as the GM instead of team player.
Team Canada defeated Finland, 4-2, earlier today to win the gold medal in Moscow where the World Hockey Championship was being held.
The country’s third gold at the event in the past five years only looked in doubt in the final minutes after Petri Kontiola and Antti Miettinen scored late. But the Canadians were able to hold on for the win after Rick Nash scored his second of the game with just over a minute to play.
The win earned St. Louis Blues coach Andy Murray his third gold medal in four stints as Canada’s coach in the tournament.
“I’ve had the ability to surround myself with quality people,” Murray told TSN afterwards about his impressive tenure at the world championship.”
