The 2011 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships ended in Buffalo, New York with one of the oldest and most heated rivalries in hockey history as Canada and Russia both looked to once again stand a top of the junior hockey world. With Team Canada coming off a silver medal, second place performance a year earlier, wanted to get back to their gold medal winning ways they have in the past. Russia is coming off a sixth place finish a year earlier had hopes of getting back to gold medal glory all while adding another chapter in this historic rivalry.

Russia scored five unanswered goals in the third period as they came back to win 5-3. The win is Russia's fifth gold medal while it's their first since winning back to back gold in 2002-2003. This lose is Canada's second straight silver medal. Canada came up short a year earlier in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan when they lost in over overtime 6-5 to the United States. Canada won three silver medals in a row from 2002-2004.

Canada started out strong as they opened the scoring on a power play when Ryan Ellis scores at 5:02 of the first period to make it 1-0. Late in the first period, Carter Ashton scored to make it 2-0 with 13.5 seconds left. Canada continued the scoring at 6:27 of the second with a goal from Brayden Schenn.
