Do you mean only champions.

I know about Finland: In 1987 captain was Janne Ojanen and in 1998 Pasi Petriläinen.

Its interesting to see that the majority of captains weren't and aren't stars(with the exception of Lindros, Fleury and I suppose Desjardins)

Thankyou very much, Mr. Mustard.

Wow,

This is a really cool idea! Anyone know where I could find info on all of Russia's captains?

McCarthy was the captain in 2001, Jackman was assistant. Just thought I would point that out.

I personally am not a fan of making the best players captains unless they are captains to begin with. Captains should have serious leadership qualities on and off the ice and as we all know, the best player on the team usually isn't the guy to look for to have these qualities. Of course in special circumstances the best player will have these qualities, but that is a rareity. Richards this year was the man for the job and I wouldn't have it any other way. When players look to someone for leadership, even if he is not vocal, they can see that he was the hardest working person on the ice every game, and that in itself will bring upon better play throughout the team.

I have a book about Canada's entry's into the WJC from 1977 to 1998. After that, it was just guesses. 1 wrong ain't too shabby I guess.
