[edit] Shouldn't be on discussion page

All the above information of past hockey olympics (team Canada) results, shouldn't be on this discussion page. All it has done, is take up Discussion space. It should have its own page, what do you other editors think? GoodDay 00:19, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Moved. Anchoress 19:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coach?

I'm a little confused by THIS article on CBC, mentioning an Andy Murray as the head coach? There's an Andy Murray (ice hockey) who is a coach, but his article doesn't mention Team Canada, and this page doesn't mention him?? Anchoress 19:27, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Check the article now, someone has added his Team Canada accomplishments. GoodDay 18:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NHL teams

Do we really have to show the NHL teams each player is with? It seems to make the IIHF teams appear 'lesser'. Example: Shane Doan wasn't invited to the Team Canada camp as -Shane Doan of the Phoenix Coyotes-, he was invited as 'Shane Doan'. I mean, non-NHLers are invited too. GoodDay 21:42, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I think it's useful, encyclopedic information. And it isn't just NHL teams, it's affiliation - see: *Ontario 23 Cory Murphy - IFK Helsinki. Anchoress 21:44, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Alright, but I've moved 'C' & 'A's (captains & alternate captains), so they don't appear as captains & alternates for the NHL & Elite teams. GoodDay 22:01, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Why are the teams listed their current teams, though, rather than who they played with at the time? 209.47.202.162 (talk) 14:52, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Old Rosters

Is it really necessary to have rosters from 2004 and 2005. Maybe a roster from the last Olympics and World Championship. Putting the '04 and '05 rosters seems like overkill. Thanks for addressing my concern. Thew ent dan 01:18, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World Championship Roster

It lists Sidney Crosby as part of the 2005 World Championships roster. Hockey Canada hasn't sent over a junior player since Eric Lindros, and this was months before Crosby was drafted. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.92.47 (talk) 05:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Crosby was listed as an alternate but did not play according to here. Flibirigit (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

That's the National Mens team, not the World Championships team. The National team plays in minor tournaments across Europe through the year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.92.47 (talk) 04:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hockey clubs representing Canada

We need either a list or category of "hockey clubs" that have represented Canada. That is to say, all the "hockey clubs" who were given opportunity to compete in international competitions on behalf of Canda. A pseudo-list exists at the Allan Cup article for the senior champions of Canada, and this article lists "hockey clubs" from 1930 to 1963. However no specific mention is made of when "hockey clubs" started or stopped representing Canada in place of individuals selected to form a team. Does anyone have these exact dates. Flibirigit (talk) 03:52, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I found my own answer. Flibirigit (talk) 04:31, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Excerpt from Hockey Canada

Canada's National Men's Team was founded in 1963 by Father David Bauer, who shared a deep commitment to developing the Canadian character through international hockey. National Team players in the United States, Canada and throughout the world are united by their respect for the maple leaf. Until the early 1960s, Canada's international representation was by Senior Amateur Club teams. The last senior team to win a World Championship was the (B.C.) Trail Smoke Eaters in 1961. Shortly thereafter, Bauer proposed to the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association a plan to develop a Canadian national hockey team. The proposal was accepted and the "Nats" were born, playing out of the University of British Columbia. The best finish by Bauer's team was a bronze at the Grenoble Winter Olympic Games in 1968. The team was a full-time program from 1963-68 and 1983-2000, giving Canada a presence at major international events and also served as a development program for players moving on to sign NHL, minor league and international contracts, as well as giving players the opportunity to travel the world and represent their country. A number of NHL teams gained from this program, as graduates such as Eric Lindros, Sean Burke, Adrian Aucoin, Chris Therien, Joé Juneau, James Patrick and Fred Brathwaite went on to illustrious NHL careers.

[edit] 1988 World Championships

Who coached Team Canada in 1988? Or did Canada skip the Tournament, due to the 1988 Winter Olympics. GoodDay (talk) 20:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Probably the same coach as the Olympics but I have nothing to back that up. Back then Team Canada was always coached by a full time coach because we had a national team that played together year round as opposed to now where stars go and play. -Djsasso (talk) 19:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
