STOCKHOLM (AP) — Tage Thompson scored at 2:02 of overtime to the give the United States a 1-0 victory over Switzerland on Sunday for its second world hockey championship and first since 1933.

Thompson, the Buffalo Sabres star from Connecticut, fired a wrist shot past goalie Leonardo Genoni from the top of the right circle for this sixth goal of the tournament.

“What an absolutely amazing feeling,” said U.S. coach Ryan Warsofsky of the San Jose Sharks. “Everyone in our group contributed to winning the gold medal. We beat an excellent team in Switzerland tonight and full credit to them for the tournament they had … We’ll remember this for a long, long time.”

In 1933, the United States beat Canada 2-1 in the final in Prague. The Americans also were formally awarded the title in 1960, when they won the Olympics in Squaw Valley and the worlds did not take place.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Vancouver forward Drew O’Connor said. “U.S. hockey has been growing and getting better every year. We haven’t had success here, but you’ve seen it in the world juniors and things like that.”

Utah’s Logan Cooley and Nashville’s Brady Skjei assisted on the goal. Boston goalie Jeremy Swayman made 25 saves to finish 7-0 in the tournament.

“We did it, the wait is over,” Swayman said on social media. “Thanks for sticking along with us. It’s going to be a great summer.”

Vancouver’s Conor Garland failed on a penalty shot early in the second.

Amid the celebrations on the ice, the U.S. players displayed Johnny Gaudreau ‘s jersey to honor the forward who was killed with brother Matt in late August riding their bicycles in their home state of New Jersey on the eve of their sister’s wedding. Gaudreau leads the U.S. scorers at the worlds with 43 points.

“What a group. What a fun month,” Garland said. “If we lost, we lost … but we didn’t. We’re such a tight-knit group, that’s just the way it always is with USA Hockey.”

Switzerland beat the U.S. 3-0 in the group stage of the tournament, the Americans’ only defeat.

Bronze medal for Sweden

Mikael Backlund and Marcus Johansson each scored twice to help Sweden beat Denmark 6-2 in the third-place game.

Lucas Raymond and Mika Zibanejad also scored for Sweden. Nick Olesen and Nikolaj Ehlers scored for Denmark.

The long wait is over.

Tage Thompson scored the golden goal as the United States prevailed over Switzerland 1-0 in overtime to win its first ice hockey world championship in decades on Sunday.

Thompson wristed a shot past goaltender Leonardo Genoni from the top of the right circle for the winner 2:02 into overtime of the final with the 40th shot on goal. It was his sixth goal at the tournament.

Logan Cooley and Brady Skjei provided the assists and goaltender Jeremy Swayman shut out the Swiss with 25 saves.

USA Hockey says it is only the second trophy won at the tournament by the Americans after beating Canada in 1933, and it welcomed the triumph by saying “Golden For First Time in 92 Years.”

“What an absolutely amazing feeling,” U.S. head coach Ryan Warsofsky said. “Everyone in our group contributed to winning the gold medal. We beat an excellent team in Switzerland tonight and full credit to them for the tournament they had … We’ll remember this for a long, long time.”

While the Americans had not won a world championship tournament in which they competed since 1933, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) says the U.S. was also formally awarded the title in 1960, when they won the Olympic tournament and the worlds did not take place.

USA Hockey does not count that 1960 title.

Switzerland, last year’s runner-up, has never won the tournament.

Scoreless in regulation

The tightly contested game was scoreless in regulation with both goaltenders holding firm.

Conor Garland wasted a penalty shot 5:38 into the middle period.

The U.S. began to mount pressure in the middle period, outshooting the Swiss 17-9, and went on with 11 shots on goal against four in the third.

Swayman had a perfect record 7-0 at the worlds.

“We did it, the wait is over,” Swayman said in a post on social media. “Thanks for sticking along with us. It’s going to be a great summer.”

Amid the celebrations on the ice, the U.S. players displayed Johnny Gaudreau ’s jersey to honor the forward who was killed with his brother Matt in late August riding their bicycles in their home state of New Jersey on the eve of their sister Katie’s wedding.

Gaudreau leads the U.S. all-time scoring table at the worlds with 43 points.

The hockey community is mourning the deaths of NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew, who were killed Thursday night by a suspected drunk driver

Third medal for Thompson

Switzerland shut out the U.S. 3-0 in the group stage of the tournament, the Americans’ only defeat.

After winning bronze in 2018 and 2021, Thompson of the Buffalo Sabres earned his third medal and tied Allen Van (2 silver, 1 bronze) for the most decorated U.S. player at the worlds.

All players on the U.S. team except the three goaltenders registered at least a point at the tournament, with the 21-year-olds Frank Nazar and Logan Cooley leading with 12 points.

Switzerland lost the fourth final since the playoff system was introduced in 1992. It was beaten by Sweden in 2013 and 2018 and by the Czechs last year.

Bronze medal for Sweden

Mikael Backlund and Marcus Johansson scored two goals each as Sweden beat Denmark 6-2 to take the bronze medal earlier Sunday.

It was the second straight third-place finish for Sweden while fourth place was the best-ever result for Denmark.

Lucas Raymond and Mika Zibanejad also scored for the winners while Nick Olesen and Nikolaj Ehlers scored for Denmark.

Team USA won the gold medal in the 2025 IIHF Men’s World Championship with a 1-0 victory over Switzerland on Sunday at Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.

The two teams battled it out throughout regulation. Team USA had 39 shots, while Switzerland had 24. USA goalie Jeremy Swayman (Boston Bruins) recorded 24 saves in the full 60 minutes, and Switzerland goalie Leonardo Genoni made 39 saves in the contest.

Each team attempted one shot in overtime and one went into the net. The game-winning goal came at the 62:02 mark of overtime with a score from former UConn and current Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson. The score was assisted by Logan Cooley and Brady Skjei. Thompson won Player of the Game for his goal.

The win made history as the first time the USA has brought home the gold medal in the event since 1933, a 92-year drought.

Team USA’s roster featured two former Boston College men’s hockey players, forwards Cutter Gauthier (Anaheim Ducks) and Will Smith (San Jose Sharks).

Although neither player picked up a goal or assist in the championship game, both have helped in the USA’s success. In the event, Gauthier tallied five goals and four assists and Smith boasted eight assists. The statistics include the team’s exhibition win over Germany on May 4.

In the USA’s run, the team recorded wins over Denmark 5-0, Hungary 6-0, Norway 6-5 OT, Germany 6-3, Kazakhstan 6-1, Czechia 5-2, Finland 5-2, and Sweden 6-2. The USA’s only loss was against Switzerland on May 12 3-0.
