Game Story
ROSE LEADS WEST TO WJAC GOLD
JASON LA ROSE
It is the fifth gold for West - joining 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2015 - and the first time in four tries it has topped the Americans in the final.
Rose - who was named tournament MVP following the game - was at his best in the final 40 minutes, making 14 saves in the second period and 12 more in the third to help the Canadians to the top of the podium.
West spread around the scoring, with five different players scoring goals and 10 recording points.
Brendan Budy netted the all-important first goal, racing away on a shorthanded breakaway and beating U.S. goaltender Jake Kucharski on the blocker side just 9:06 in.
