For the first time in history, Finland won the Olympic Gold medal at the hockey tournament against the Russian team. Valtteri Filppula, former Flyer forward, was a part of that team.
However, Flyers goalie prospect Ivan Fedotov was on the losing side, but he made 29 saves on 31 shots. During the tournament, the 6 foot 7 goaltender registered a 1.61 goals-against average and a .943 save percentage.
