* -The Canada Cup is the only hockey
tournament in the world that
featured the best possible
players for each nation. It's usually
held during August, when
players are free from club team commitments.
The only other time all the
best players have been able to gather
was at the 1998 Olympics. The
NHL had shut down for 2 weeks for it's
players to participate in the
tournament.
Chances are we will again see
the best in Salt Lake City for the
2002 Olympic games.
-The Canada Cup changed it's
name
to World Cup in 1996. It also added
a European division, and 2
more teams participated making it an 8
team tournament.
