William Dufour is a champion again.
Dufour and former Sea Dogs forward Joshua Roy scored for Canada in regulation time while Kent Johnson scored the overtime winner.
Less than two months after winning the Memorial Cup with the Saint John Sea Dogs, Dufour helped Team Canada win the 2022 World Junior Hockey Championship on Saturday in Edmonton, defeating Finland 3-2 in overtime.

The OT goal came shortly after Mason McTavish, who lost to Dufour and the Sea Dogs in the Memorial Cup final, made a great defensive play to keep the puck out of the Canadian net.
Along with scoring, Dufour had two shots and a +2 rating in 12:15 of ice time. He finished the tournament with three goals and four assists in seven games, putting an end to an impressive season of hockey.

The Memorial Cup MVP will likely play with the American Hockey League's Bridgeport Islanders this season.
Awesome save and goal to end the game!
