OSTRAVA, CZECH REPUBLIC-- University of North Dakota sophomore defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker won a gold medal with Canada on Sunday at the 2020 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Junior Championships. Canada defeated Russia, 4-3, in the tournament's gold-medal game.
 
Bernard-Docker logged the most ice time of any Canadian skater in the tournament, averaging nearly 19 minutes per game. He scored a goal in the quarterfinal win over Slovakia.
 
He becomes UND's 23rd medalist at the World Junior Championships and the 13th to win gold.
 
Freshman Shane Pinto, despite his Team USA squad playing in two fewer games due to being knocked out in the quarterfinal round, still finished 17th in overall scoring for the tournament, notching seven points on four goals and three assists for the Americans in five games.
 
Bernard-Docker, from Canmore, Alta., will rejoin the Fighting Hawks in the coming days and will be available to return to action when UND re-opens National Collegiate Hockey Conference play this weekend, hosting Omaha on Friday and Saturday at Ralph Engelstad Arena.
