Canada take fifth gold in a row at world juniors

OTTAWA: Canada won its fifth straight gold medal at the world junior hockey championships, beating Sweden 5-1 in the final Monday night.

The streak equals Canada's record of five consecutive titles in this tournament from 1993-97. Canada's 15th gold at the world juniors also matched Russia/Soviet Union for the all-time lead. Canadian players jumped all over the ice to celebrate after the horn sounded to end their latest victory.

"There's nothing like it at all," forward John Tavares told TSN. "Listen to these fans. That's five, Canada. Five. That's what we were talking about."
