For the first time since 2007, Team Canada has won the Spengler Cup in Davos, Switzerland.
On Monday, according to www.spenglercup.ch, Canadian Olympic gold medallists Patrice Bergeron of the Boston Bruins and Ryan Smyth of the Edmonton Oilers were both instrumental for Team Canada in a commanding 7-2 victory over the host HC Davos in the championship final.
