Norway Upsets Canada for Bronze

Norway stunned Canada in a nail-biting bronze medal game at the 2026 IIHF World Championships, claiming their first-ever medal in the tournament with a dramatic late-game winner. Despite Canada having beaten Norway earlier in the event, Norway surged ahead with a two-goal second-period lead and held on after Canada tied it in the final minute. Darnell Nurse struggled defensively, taking penalties and being on ice for both Norway goals, yet still led Canada with eight shots. Norway’s Cinderella run capped off a historic victory, while Canada ended the tournament medal-less for the third straight year — their last medal dating back to 2023. Notably, no Oilers players earned a medal this year, though standout performers like Evan Bouchard (6 points) and Mattias Ekholm (5 points) shone for their respective teams.
