In the last minute of play, it was a hat trick goal to ensure the win for the Russians, by Alexander Sharov on the PP. Game Star nods went to Connor Bleakley for the Bisons and Alexander Sharov for Russia. Despite a record of 5 goals on 14 shots today, the tournament MVP award went to Bisons Goalie Wilson Sproule. This is the second Mac’s championship title for Russia Severstal (2007).
