Perry joins TRIPLE GOLD CLUB

Stanley Cup, Olympic gold, and WCh gold

Canada’s Corey Perry is the 27th member of hockey’s most exclusive club.

 

After winning a Stanley Cup with Anaheim in 2007, he was on Canada’s Olympic champion team in both 2010 and 2014.

 

Now that he has captained a World Championship gold, he is a member of the Triple Gold Club. Canada now has ten such members, followed by Sweden with nine, Russia six, and Czech Republic two.

 

Last year countryman Sidney Crosby was the 26th member after Canada’s win in Prague. Perry also won World Junior Championship gold in 2005 with Crosby.

 

The 31-year-old Perry was presented with his TGC pin by IIHF President Rene Fasel just moments after stepping off the ice with a gold medal around his neck.

Groups for World Championships 2017 named.

 

and it´s absolutely the oposite of which everyone (including me) expected :lol:

 

Group A (Cologne, GER)

:RUS:USA:SWE:SVK:GER:LAT:DEN:ITA

 

Group B (Paris, FRA)

:CAN:FIN:CZE:SUI:BLR:NOR:FRA:SLO

 

top 4 of each group will qualify for Quarterfinals.

 

Last team of each group will be relegated to Division I A 2018.

(Denmark is automatically saved and can´t be relagated, as host of 2018 world championships) which means if Denmark finish 8th of their group, the 7th team of the group A will be relagated.

here are the explanations about IIHF world ranking. http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/championships/world-ranking/

 

in fact they use the last 4 world championships + last olympics.

they count 25% of points of 2013 WCh, 50% of points of 2014 WCH, 75% of points of 2015 WCH and 100% of points of 2016 WCh + 100% of olympics Sochi 2014 tournament.

 

so thats why Russia is still ahead.
