Being down 3–0 after two periods, the Russians scored five goals in the third period to capture their first WJHC gold medal since 2003. The host team, the United States, won the bronze medal with a 4–2 win over Sweden.

[edit] Bid process

Co-host of the 2005 tournament, Grand Forks, North Dakota, also submitted a bid to host the 2011 tournament.^[3] In addition, Detroit was mentioned as a possible host city.^[2][4]

[edit] Summary

[edit] Exhibition games

A series of five exhibition games were held between several of the teams at Sports Centre at MCC in Brighton, New York and the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena in Jamestown, New York in conjunction with, and immediately prior to, the tournament.

[edit] Preliminary round

The Preliminary Round robin consisted of two pools of five teams each, played in a round robin format. The United States (Pool A) and Sweden (Pool B) went undefeated to finish first in their respective pools and earn an automatic berth in the semifinals. To qualify for the quarterfinals, Canada and Russia finished second and third in Pool B while Finland and Switzerland did likewise in Pool A. The remaining teams, Slovakia, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Norway were sent to the relegation round.

[edit] Relegation round

In the relegation round, Slovakia and Norway played in the first game, with Slovakia winning 5–0. The Czech Republic defeated Germany 3–2 in the second game. After the first day of action, the final results were decided and the remaining games were meaningless. Germany lost to Norway 3–1 and the Czech Republic defeated Slovakia 5–2 in the final relegation games. Norway and Germany were relegated to Division I for the 2012 tournament.^[5]

[edit] Medal round

[edit] Quarterfinals

The first quarterfinal game saw Russia take on Finland. Russia trailed by two goals late in the game, but scored twice to tie and send it to overtime. Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the game winning goal in overtime.^[6] In the other quarterfinal, Canada easily defeated Switzerland 4–1.

[edit] Semifinals

The first semi-final featured Russia and Sweden. Controversy erupted in the second period as an apparent icing call on Russia was waved off by the on-ice officials, allowing the Russians to score and take a 2–0 lead. The Swedish team protested the non-call, but the goal stood. The Swedes did forge a comeback and took a 3–2 lead in the third period, but the Russians scored late to force overtime for the second consecutive game. The game went to a shootout with Russia winning, 4–3.^[7] The second semifinal was a highly anticipated rematch of the previous year's gold medal game between Canada and the United States, the defending champions. In front of a mainly Canadian crowd that made the trip to Buffalo, Canada earned a berth in the final with a 4–1 victory over their American rivals.^[8]

[edit] Fifth place game

The fifth place game featured the losing teams of the quarter-final games. Switzerland defeated Finland 3–2 in a shootout to take fifth place.^[5]

[edit] Bronze medal game

The United States defeated Sweden 4–2 to win the bronze medal, its first ever WJHC medal on home soil.^[9]

[edit] Gold medal game

The gold medal game was a clash between the hockey powerhouses of Canada and Russia. The game marked Canada's tenth consecutive appearance in the final, while the Russians had lost three straight gold medal games to Canada and were looking to avenge an embarrassing sixth place finish the year before. Canada, who beat the Russians 6–3 to open the round robin, held a seemingly commanding 3–0 lead after two periods. However, the Russians again fought back and scored five unanswered goals in the third, including two in a span of 13 seconds, to win the game 5–3 and capture the gold medal. It was Russia's first gold medal since 2003 and Canada's second straight silver medal finish. Brayden Schenn of Canada was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player.^[10]

The game delivered one of the largest television audiences in Canadian history, with an average of 6.88 million viewers watching on TSN and another 652,000 watching the French language broadcast on RDS. An estimated half of Canadians watched a portion or all of the game.^[11]
