Olympic Gold Medal Game
Palasport Olimpico, Turin 🇮🇹
Sunday, 26 February 2006
The hockey world changed most dramatically and recently in the 1990s. First, the Soviet Union crumbled, after which Czechoslovakia split in two, and then NHLers started to compete at the Olympics. The result produced an astounding parity among the top teams. Consider that the “Canadian era” lasted from 1920 to 1961 and the “Soviet era” from 1962 to 1990.
That is, these countries dominated those periods of time in a way that is unimaginable today.

Scandinavium, Gothenburg 🇸🇪
Saturday, 11 May 2002
To fully understand the impact of Slovakia’s first World Championship Gold medal in hockey, we need to rewind. The dissolution of Czechoslovakia on 01 January 1 1993, meant that the Czech Ice Hockey Association took over the position of former Czechoslovakia while Slovakia was considered a “new” hockey nation. As a result, the Slovaks had to start from scratch in the IIHF World Championship program and work their way up through the divisions.

After the great disappointment of Nagano, when Canada failed to win a medal despite a tremendous lineup and Gold medal expectations, Canada was leaving nothing to chance four years later.

Collectively, they chose the 20 skaters and three goalies who would try to bring their country Olympic glory for the first time since 1952.

They said nothing about the little things that were being done to irritate and belittle them; little things such as having their photographs at the athletes village scribbled on and autographed by the American players.
