IIHF - 7 strange but true World Junior facts (IIHF)

If you're obsessed with hockey trivia, the World Juniors are a gold mine. In many respects, this is the most unpredictable of all top-level IIHF tournaments ...

In 2006, Phil Kessel (1+10=11) led the way with the fourth-place American squad in Vancouver. In 2009, his sister Amanda Kessel (6+13=19) topped the points derby as the U.S. Yet the player who got the eventual winner in the 6-1 gold medal romp over Russia in Grand Forks, North Dakota wasn’t a future superstar. In 1998, when Niklas Hagman got the 2-1 sudden-death winner against Russia, Hannu Kapanen, now a Finnish Hockey Hall of Famer (2005), was the team’s head coach. 2) Canada is the most successful nation in World Junior history with 18 gold medals, but surprisingly few of its bench bosses have used coaching at the tournament as a springboard to Stanley Cup triumphs. The IIHF first adopted the playoff format in 1996 when Boston hosted the World Juniors. However, if we apply the first Art Ross Trophy tiebreaker (“Player with the most goals”) to the World Juniors, then McDavid drops off the list, since Canadian teammate Sam Reinhart equalled McDavid’s 11 points in 2015 but scored five goals to McDavid’s three. Did you know that all three points recorded on the first goal ever scored in an IIHF World Junior gold medal game went to future Calgary Flames forwards? Canada leads the way with Wayne Gretzky (1978 WJC), Jarome Iginla (1996 WJC), and Connor McDavid (2015 WJC). 1) When Czechoslovakia hammered Austria 21-4 at the 1981 World Juniors in West Germany, it was the most goals ever scored by one team in a single game. The Czechoslovaks, coached by future IIHF Hall of Famer Jozef Golonka, actually got more goals in that game than the sixth-place U.S. did in the entire tournament (19).
