Wilderness Walk: US vs Canada Hlinka Gretzky Cup controversy

For those that don’t know, the Hlinka Gretzky Cup is going on right now in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. It’s a tournament of the best under-18 hockey players in the world, and Friday night, just like every time USA and Canada get together, it was a thriller. Remember the Mike Legg lacrosse goal from back in 1996? Well, Aaron Huglen from Roseau, Minnesota did that last night. Let’s take a look at both.

Now, of course US/Canada always has to have it’s fair share of controversy. Well, with the US up 5-4 with seconds remaining in the 3rd period, Canada appears to score as the buzzer goes off.
