Familiar combatants faced off in the final of the World Junior A Challenge on Saturday in Cobourg, as Team Canada West beat Russia 2-1 to claim the championship for the fourth time since the tournament was formed.

Team Canada East lost the bronze medal game to the US by a 7-1 score.

The Dukes’ Luc Brown finished the tournament fourth in scoring with five points, including a pair of goals and three assists.

The Dukes return to action on the road in Stouffville on January 2, and in Trenton on January 6.
