Great Britain's players sing the most obscene & amazing chant after avoiding relegation at the World Championship.

This is just a feel good story all around for the boys from Great Britain. 

It was a shock to many that Great Britain was even attending the International Ice hockey Federation's World Championship tournament this time around but on Monday they truly defied expectations. It has been nearly 70 years since Great Britain last avoided being relegated at the World Championship tournament but they had a chance to do it on Monday when they faced off against historical rivals France. No one needs me to tell them about the long history between the French and the English and as a result there is always a little something extra riding when they face  each other in international competition.

Unfortunately for Great Britain it looked like they were going to get absolutely blown out early in the game. The French marched forward to a 3 - 0 lead over their rivals and it seemed like Great Britain was once again destined for relegation. However what would come next would be one of the most improbable comebacks of the year, and likely one of the most meaningful win for that hockey program in a very, very long time. The English would rally all the way back from their 3 goal deficit  to tie the game in regulation and force overtime. 

It was then that Great Britain's captain Jonathan Phillips would win a hard fought puck battle in the French zone with less than 3 minutes left to go  in overtime. Phillips would then see a streaking Ben Davies entering the French zone and managed to get the puck to him in front of the net where Davies would do the rest. For those of you who did not get to see the event live, you can see the overtime winner in the video below. The reaction of the boys from Great Britain really does tell the tale of just how big of a win this was for them. 


The highlight of their victory however came when the boys from Great Britain began to chant after their huge win. It was an obscene chant to be sure but it was one that came from such a good-natured and humble place that you can't help be being happy for these boys. You can see that as well in the video below, try not to laugh too hard.

Congratulations to every player on that roster for such an improbable comeback victory.
