Latvia is a small country of less than 2 million people but what they lack in size, they make up for in pride and passion. Their love of hockey is undeniable and so co-hosting this years World Hockey Championship was already huge but winning a medal was only a dream. Well, today that dream became a reality. For the first time Latvias hockey history, they won a Bronze medal! This was an incredible run and it was so much fun to watch. I cover this and more in todays hockey video!

MUST SEE Incredible video with thousands of fans awaiting players return: https://twitter.com/RaitisNarme/status/1663144342503014400?s=20 Really puts into perspective how big of a deal this is in Latvia!
Amazing for Latvia, truly. For the. Making the final 4 was a huge accomplishment for the country and team. Congratulations š šāāļø
Congratulations Latvia, With Much Respect šØš¦
Yes, Latvia is small compared to America, they have all kinds of teams in the NHL, even sharks with many teeth, I can't even think of any animal to compare with the Latvian team that they did this year, the only thing that comes to mind is the hedgehog in the fog, which came out of the fog and showed the whole his needles to the world, so that from now on our hedgehog will show everyone his needles ššŖ
Latvijas dzeki visus panems prieksa!
TerÄzei lieliski sanak
YURRR latvija panema visus no aizmugures, malacisi!
I dont care
This just makes me even angrier that we haven't had a true best-on-best tournament for almost a decade now. Imagine if this happened in the real deal. It would've been one of the biggest upsets in sports history and easily the biggest news story in the world.
Pretty good world championships Canada sets a record for most goals and Latvia wins their first ever medal. Germany silver. Pretty historical
A funny moment was people laying flowers at the US Embassy here in Latvia, just to rub it in a bit more
Well done.
Amazing! Cheers from Poland!
Always better feeling to win bronze than lose and get silver. Congrats Latvia on a great and historic moment.
Someone said – Canada won the gold but Latvia won the championship ! Our fans are the best !

i have a latvian flatmate and she didnt know what kfc stands for

I see you Latvians are a tad brighter than your Estonian brothers.
As a Latvian I want to thank all of you (Fins, Americans, Czechs and everybody else) for congratulations we are receiving. That medal is like living through the wildest fantasy.
beidziet stÄstÄ«t , ka Latvija ir maza…bÅ«tu interesanti dzirdÄt, ko jÅ«slÄ«dzÄ«gie teiktu par San-Marino, LihtenÅ”teinu, Monako, VatikÄnu, Andoru, Luksemburgu un t.t.?))
maza valsts nevar izcÄ«nÄ«t bronzas medaļu…maza valsts nevar paÅemt priekÅ”Ä Å veici, Zviedrus, ASV
valsts netiek mÄrÄ«ta ar gailÄ«Å”iem…valsts lielums ir tÄs tauta
ja esiet redzÄjis latvieÅ”u lÄ«dzjÅ«tÄjus,tad varbÅ«t sapratÄ«siet,ka latvieÅ”i un Latvija ir +100x lielÄki par KanÄdu vai ASV
izmÄrs nav galvenais š ja neproti pielietot, tad sorry…lai cik tev bÅ«tu liels gailÄ«tis, nemÄkulÄ«gÄs tupina raÅ”istu rokÄs, tas lielums pÄrvÄrtÄ«sies maziÅÄ saÄokurojuÅ”Ä nelabi smakojoÅ”Ä tupinÄ..
*cik valodÄs runÄ kanÄla autors?
1:28 kÄpÄc neparÄdÄ«ja Jaka golu?…dÄ«vains kanÄls…
ALL ON SILOV
my dad was telling me chezchia was the last team we had to win to have officially won all the teams we have played ever
IAM very happy for Latvia and IAM an American. What a feel good story! We could use a feel good story these days.
It doesn't matter who is stronger. The important thing is to win.
