Tournament MVP Doug Shanahan dominated face-offs to give the USA a distinct advantage and an early lead. However, Canada came back to get to 7-6 on a Paul Gait goal in the second quarter and then finished strong before halftime to lead 9-7. The US team pulled ahead in the third quarter by three goals. Canada rallied again to tie the score before the US answered with three of their own to preserve a 18-15 victory.[5]
