Switzerland loses hockey world final to Finland in overtime

Switzerland has lost the ice hockey world championship final to Finland in overtime, in front of 10,000 fans at Zurich's Swiss Life Arena last night.

Finland sealed a 1-0 win in the extra period, with Geneva-born forward Damien Riat hitting the post for Switzerland in what could have been the winning chance. 

It is the Swiss team's third consecutive defeat in a world championship final. Captain Roman Josi was named the tournament's most valuable player, but the trophy heads back to Helsinki.
