Cree hockey player wins international gold medal

Ethan Bear, Ochapowace Cree Nation, is golden. Bear helped bring home a gold medal for Team Canada in the Men’s World Hockey Championship on Sunday, May 28, in the International Ice Hockey Federation’s annual competition.

The IIHF competition, co-hosted this year by Tampere, Finland and Riga, Latvia, brought teams together from around the world May 12-28 to compete for the crown of men’s international ice hockey supremacy.

Most teams were populated with players, like Bear, from National Hockey League teams that didn’t make it into the Stanley Cup playoffs, and even some who got bounced in the first round.
