Illinois hometown celebrates Team USA's Tessa Janecke's winning goal in Women's Ice Hockey Championship
ORANGEVILLE, Ill. (WTVO) — Orangeville native Tessa Janecke in the U.S. vs Canada Women's Ice Hockey Championship on Sunday. With only 2:54 left in overtime, she struck the winning goal for Team USA to claim its 11th title. Janecke's former softball coach, Lon Scheuerell, said, 'It's something that now is has been a big conversation piece in Orangeville, knowing that we have someone like her who's on the national stage who is doing the best thing she can do, basically, in her sport.' Orangeville has a population of less than 800 people, but Janecke's rising star is putting them on the map. 'It's such a cool thing for our town, but I think it's just even cooler knowing the kind of kid that Tessa is like she deserves, that she has put in the work to put Orangeville on the map. And we're so incredibly proud of her,' said her former neighbor, Julie Cahoon. Many who knew Janecke when she was growing up said they knew she was bound for greatness. 'Tessa was the most dedicated kid and everything that she did, she was consistently working on whatever craft it was that she was working on at the time,' said Cahoon. 'Early on, you could see that there was no moment that was gonna be too big for her,' Scheuerell said. Many former teachers still watch her play, and said they are proud of what she has accomplished so far. 'To have her on that stage and to come through and win the gold medal for the United States and represent, just knowing the person she is and all the effort she put in,' Scheuerell said. 'And she definitely deserves that.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

His Canada counterpart Troy Ryan said his team 'carried the play enough to potentially be successful,' and 'it could have gone either way.' 'Multiple times in that overtime or even in the third, either group could have won it,' Ryan said. 'Just a matter of finishing the opportunities that you get. ' Heavy Traffic After a goalless opening period, the United States jumped to a 2–0 lead with a couple of goals in the span of 29 seconds in the middle period. Harvey put the United States ahead with a wrist shot through heavy traffic 7:16 into the period. Murphy doubled the advantage on a rebound after goalie Ann-Renee Desbiens was unable to hold the bouncing puck. Canada's answer was quick. Serdachny one-timed a shot past Frankel to reduce the lead to 2–1 only 52 seconds after Murphy's goal. Another 55 seconds later, Poulin was behind the net when she fed Gardiner unmarked in front of the goal to tie it at 2–2 with her sixth goal to top the tournament scoring leaders.

USA Wins Gold In Overtime Thriller, Canada Takes Silver
Tessa Janecke was the hero scoring with less than four minutes to go in overtime to lift USA to the 4-3 win, and gold at the 2025 World Championships. Janecke forced Joceylne Larocque who had control of the puck behind Canada's net on the forecheck. Larocque sent a weak pass up the boards which was picked off by Taylor Heise creating a 2-on-1 with Janecke opening up back door where Heise found her beating an outstretched Ann-Renee Desbiens. "Games between these two teams are always classics and tonight was no different," said John Wroblewski, head coach of Team USA "We had players up and down the lineup step up for us. It was a team effort I couldn't be prouder of them." At the other end of the ice Gwyneth Philips was spectacular stopping ten shots in overtime. She came into the game midway through the third period after Laura Stacey collided with Aerin Frankel sending Frankel to the bench, and forcing Philips, who played her first World Championship games with USA at this tournament into the crease with the game tied 2-2. Earlier in the game, the teams traded feverish goals with Caroline Harvey and Abbey Murphy giving USA a 2-0 lead only 29 seconds apart, before Canada answered back tying the game 1:47 later on goals by Danielle Serdachny and Jennifer Gardiner. After Frankel was injured, Taylor Heise gave USA the 3-2 lead on the ensuing 5-on-3 powerplay. Canada again answered to tie the game on a goal from Sarah Fillier. In overtime, Canada dominated the possession, but it was Janecke who gave USA the gold medal.

Team USA beats Canada in OT to win 2025 women's hockey world championship gold
Team USA beats Canada in OT to win 2025 women's hockey world championship gold CESKE BUDEJOVICE, Czech Republic — The U.S.-Canada rivalry in women's hockey added another thrilling chapter Sunday at the Women's World Championship. Tessa Janecke scored an overtime goal in the gold-medal game to lift Team USA to a 4-3 win over Canada in the final of the 2025 championship to bring the trophy back to the United States. With less than three minutes remaining in the first period of overtime, Janecke got to the puck ahead of keeper Ann-Renee Desbiens to score from close range before skating away and throwing her stick in the air in celebration. "I saw a turnover and went to the net, hoping to put it in," Janecke told TSN. "There's nothing like it... It was just so much fun." The rivals have faced off for gold at 23 of 24 world championships, including last year's gold-medal game, which Canada won 6-5 in overtime, along with meeting in six of seven Olympic finals. It was the 11th title for the U.S. who are closing in on Canada's haul of 13. Team USA gained sweet revenge for their loss last year when they hosted the tournament, and at the Arena Ceske Budejovice they laid down a marker ahead of next year's Olympics. "Just shows how strong we are as a group and how much we can persevere through anything. I wouldn't want to do it with any other group," Janecke added. After a scoreless first period, the second saw four goals in the space of two minutes and 16 seconds, with the U.S. taking a 2-0 lead with goals in quick succession from Caroline Harvey and Abbey Murphy before Canada drew level. Harvey celebrated the opening goal by miming holding a phone to her ear, after she appeared to lose a mobile phone on the ice during her side's quarter-final win over Germany. Danielle Serdachny shot through traffic to pull one back and Jennifer Gardiner scored her sixth goal of her first world championships, but Canada failed to take advantage of two power plays shortly afterwards. The U.S. however, made the most of a power play early in the third period, and playing with a 5-on-3 advantage they went in front again through Taylor Heise. Canada recovered from the sucker punch, killed off another penalty and Sarah Fillier pounced on a loose puck to equalise with less than six minutes remaining and ultimately send the match to sudden-death overtime. The U.S. lost first choice goaltender Aerin Frankel to injury in the third period, but Gwyneth Philips made some vital saves in overtime before Janecke found the winner from Heise's pass in what was the longest game in women's worlds history. "That was a great pass by Heise, so that was awesome," Janecke said. Earlier, Finland won their 15th bronze medal in the competition with a 4-3 overtime win over Czech Republic after the hosts had led 2-0 at the end of the first period. The tournament was a roaring success in the Czech Republic, with a total attendance of 122,331 topping the previous highest of 119,231 set in Winnipeg, Canada, in 2007.
