With the gold around their necks, the players, coaches and management for Team Canada must be absolutely thrilled with the outcome of the World Junior Championship tournament.
As elated as the team was, nobody was flying higher than forward Akil Thomas, who scored an absolutely sensational "golden goal" for Canada to seal the deal.
In case you missed it, please see the video below. As a matter of fact, watch it on repeat. It's worth it.

What made this goal so special is that both coach Dale Hunter and Thomas knew it was coming before it happened.

Thomas admitted that he was patient throughout the tournament, just waiting for his moment to really make a difference and he just felt like his time was coming during the gold medal game.
