Michigan’s Adam Fantilli caps off historic year with gold medal at 2023 World Championships

Adam Fantilli picked up even more hardware to cap off an incredible year of hockey, with Canada’s 5-2 win over Germany at the World Championships on Sunday.

With the win, Fantilli became the first player ever to win gold at both the World Championships and the World Junior Championships, as well as the Hobey Baker Award for best college player, all in the same year. He also joined Jonathan Toews as just the second Canadian player to win gold at both tournaments in the same year.

Fantilli was one of the youngest players in the tournament, and the youngest on Team Canada.
