Finland fights back to beat Canada for gold

Marko Anttila scored twice as Finland came from behind to beat Canada 3-1 in the final of the Ice Hockey World Championship in Slovakia on Sunday.

In front of over 9,000 fans in Bratislava's Ondrej Nepela Arena, Finnish captain Anttila led by example to score the tying and go-ahead goals after Shea Theodore had given Canada a 10th-minute lead.

Finland, bereft of any big-name players this year, could have opened the scoring in the sixth minute, but Oliwer Kaski failed to capitalize on his short-handed penalty shot.
