It's not the most publicized hockey rivalry by any means, but the theatrics between Great Britain and France couldn't have been scripted any better.
The two European squads went toe-to-toe action in Group A , with the winner getting a spot in next year's tournament, while the loser would be relegated to Division 1. Both teams came into the game without a win in the tournament
France nursed a 3-0 lead midway through the second period before Robert Dowd got Britain on the board.
Britain would tie it to send it to overtime, and before notching the game-winner on a goal from Ben Davies.
What an incredible moment and huge momentum builder for the British program.
It's the first time since 1994 that the country appeared in the tournament, and the first time since 1951 that they play against the best in the world in consecutive tournaments. France's 12 consecutive tournament appearances will come to an end.
