==Summary==
==Summary==
The final was between Canada East and Canada West. The West came out on fire early with two quick goals from Jordie Johnston of the [[La Ronge Ice Wolves]], and took a 4-0 lead before the halfway point of the game. The East came back, led by two third period goals by David Kostuch of the [[Markham Waxers]], but in the end they came up short. The West won the first ever WJAC with a 4-3 victory. The Gold Medal game was the only game of the tournament to be nationally televised. It was pre-taped and played on [[November 18]], [[2006]] by [[The Sports Network|TSN]], a week after the game was actually played. All games, except the final, were webcasted by [[Hockey Canada]]. The Final, due to a contractual agreement with [[The Sports Network|TSN]], was not allowed to be webcasted.

===Canadian Controversy===
Following the Championship game, Hockey Canada officials told members of their own two national teams that if they wanted to keep their game-worn jerseys, they would have to flip their own bill. For a price of $225 [[Canadian dollar|CAD]], players were allowed to take home their own "Home" jersey. For an additional $40 they could even keep their shin socks. Another interesting aspect of this situation was that players were told by Hockey Canada officials that the entire team either had to buy their jerseys or no one on the team could. In contrast, at the [[World Junior Ice Hockey Championships]] last year players were allowed to keep their white home jerseys for free, but their red away jerseys were kept by Hockey Canada to auction off at a fundraiser.

Summary

[edit]

The final was between Canada East and Canada West. The West came out on fire early with two quick goals from Jordie Johnston of the La Ronge Ice Wolves, and took a 4-0 lead before the halfway point of the game. The East came back, led by two third period goals by David Kostuch of the Markham Waxers, but in the end they came up short. The West won the first ever WJAC with a 4-3 victory. The Gold medal game was the only game of the tournament to be nationally televised. It was pre-taped and played on November 18, 2006 by TSN, a week after the game was actually played. All games, except the final, were webcast by Hockey Canada. The Final, due to a contractual agreement with TSN, was not allowed to be webcast.[citation needed]

The Bronze Medal Game was played between Slovakia and Russia. After 3 periods, the game was tied 1-1. After an Overtime and Shootout, the Russians came out on top 2-1. They outshot the Slovaks 49-16.[citation needed]
