CHATHAM - Drew O'Connor of Chatham is golden. O'Connor, 26, and the United States men's national ice hockey team won the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship in Stockholm, Sweden on Saturday, May 25. The win marked the men's team's first gold at this tournament since 1933. "It's been so long since we've won, so it's kind of what our focus was when we were there two years ago. And I think every year it's kind of what they talk about," O'Connor said.
