Canadian team the Sudbury Wolves won the second World Junior Club Cup in the Siberian city of Omsk on Sunday, beating the Waterloo Black Hawks from the United States 2-0 in the final.
Josh Leivo and Frank Corrado scored Sudbury’s goals in the final of the tournament, an IIHF-sanctioned event.
“To win here was a real challenge for us,” Sudbury owner Mark Burgess told R-Sport.
“We really want to come back here next year to defend our title.”
Corrado said on Twitter: “Couldn't be more proud way to go boys.”
Swedish team Linkoping took third place with a 1-0 win over Belarusian side Dynamo-Shinnik.
Last year’s tournament was also held in Omsk and won by Krasnaya Armiya, the farm team of CSKA Moscow.
