Kristians Rubins scored the medal winner just 1:22 into the overtime period at Nokia Arena in Finland \u2014 the crowd consisted of mostly Latvia fans, so the goal sent just about everybody into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

It was the country’s first medal<\/a> in IIHF competition, and they had not finished better than seventh place prior to this tournament.<\/p>\n

Members of the Latvian parliament rocked the team’s sweaters when declaring Monday the holiday.<\/p>\n

“Celebrating the success of the Latvian hockey team could encourage everyone to strive for excellence in their work, in their skills,” the bill stated, via USA Today. “Celebrating this day together would strengthen the national self-confidence and cohesion of the Latvian society.”<\/p>\n

Rubins scored the game-tying goal with 5:39 left in regulation that sent the game into overtime.<\/p>\n

“For the big teams like Canada, this is what they do,” Latvian forward Miks Indra\u0161is said after the game<\/a>. “They win medals all the time. But for us, it’s like a one-time opportunity. This is unreal.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
