The 2024 World Junior Championships was one that was filled to the brim with drama, shocking upsets, and countless highlight-reel moments. In the end though, the tournament came down to the favorites as Sweden and the USA battled it out for the goal medal.
All of that being said, some believe team USA's celebrations went a bit too far as team captain Rutger McGroarty is now facing criticism for a celebratory dance he did on his way to claim his gold medal and the tournament trophy for his team.
That being said, other fans supported the move as they enjoyed seeing some personality from the player. Hockey players can be known for giving rather dry interviews most of the time so we do not often see a ton of personality from our favorite players outside of moments like these.
