It was the 67th annual event, and was run by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). Canada won the gold medal after defeating Sweden 3–2 in a tightly fought final. Over 14 minutes into the overtime, Canadian forward Anson Carter beat Swedish goaltender Mikael Tellqvist with a wraparound goal. The goal was contested for several minutes before replays confirmed that Tellqvist had stopped the puck behind the goal line. It was Canada's first World Championship win in five years. Sweden surrendered five consecutive goals against Finland in their quarterfinal to trail 5–1 seven minutes into the second period, at which point Swedish goaltender Tommy Salo was swapped for Mikael Tellqvist. This proved to be the Swedish team's necessary wake-up call as the Swedes went on to score five unanswered goals before the end of regulation and ultimately win the game 6–5. To celebrate the games, the Finnish government issued a high value commemorative coin: the 2003 Ice Hockey World Championships commemorative coin, with three ice hockey sticks and a puck engraved on the reverse. Qualification Tournament The Far Eastern Qualification was played as a single game during the 2003 Asian Winter Games on February 4, 2003, in Hachinohe, Japan. South Korea had opted to not play as they believed it more beneficial to focus on training and developing for their Division II tournament.South Korea withdraws During the games Japan also beat the Koreans eleven to two in the semi-finals. main WDL Q n 2 JPN JPN CHN CHN 1 0 0 15 0 0 0 1 0 15 #ccffcc A red1 R complete IIHF All times local #eeeeee February 4, 200319:00 JPN 15–0 CHN Venues Finland left 200 Finland 60.205739 24.928897 Helsinki bottom Finland 60.456389 22.186944 Turku left Finland 61.495833 23.824167 Tampere top Hartwall AreenaCapacity: 13,349 Elysée ArenaCapacity: 11,820 Tampere Ice HallCapacity: 7,800 150px 150px 150px FIN – Helsinki FIN – Turku FIN – Tampere Final tournament First round In the first round, the top three teams from each group progressed to the second round, whilst the last-placed team progressed to the consolation round.
