Sudbury Native Scores Game-Winning Goal In Junior Hockey Finals
Teddy Stiga, a Boston College student and native of Sudbury, scored a crucial goal to give the United States the lead and eventual win.
SUDBURY, MA - While he was a healthy scratch at the beginning of the World Junior Hockey Championship tournament, Teddy Stiga, a winger at Boston College and a native of Sudbury, made his presence felt on the ice when it mattered the most.
His breakaway goal in 3-on-3 overtime gave the United States a 4-3 lead over Finland, and they held on to win their second straight and seventh overall title.
"You got to find a role," Stiga told the Associated Press. "It wasn't always points and scoring. Being able to top it off with one there was pretty cool."
