The World Junior Championship in 2024, was another great tournament with a ton of memorable games, moments, and upsets. Sweden's national team faced the American team that was deemed the tournament favorite in the gold medal match.
Jonathan Lekkerimäki got into a heated exchange over something that Cutter Gauthier either had done, or something from the squad he played on, as the teams were shaking hands.
Clearly something was wrong, or perhaps it was just the disappointment of losing in front of supporters at home. The majority of people would assume that the Sweden players were also offended by the USA players' bullying of the crowd.
