Did you know?The only time an Olympic gold medal was decided in a game winning shotcompetition (“shootout”) was in 1994 in Lillehammer. A brave Team Canada,comprised mostly of minor leaguers and amateurs, held a 2 – 1 lead until 18.11of the third period when Sweden scored a power-play goal to even it up.Canada also had a 2-0 lead in the shootout competition, but with the scoretied 2 – 2, Peter Forsberg gave Sweden its first Olympic gold by netting thegame winning shot on Canadian goalie Corey Hirsch (see photo above).Forsberg’s incredibly daring move, where he faked to the left and slid the puckwith one hand under Hirsch’s glove on the right side, is replayed as often onSwedish television as Paul Henderson’s 1972 goal is shown in Canada.The picture of the goal was eventually reproduced as a postage stamp inSweden. The postal authorities got permission from Peter Forsberg, but weredeclined by Corey Hirsch. The art designer had to change the goalie’s shirtcolour and number so Hirsch would no longer be identified. On the stamp, thejersey is blue instead of red and his number 1 is changed to 11.

René FaselPresident, International Ice Hockey Federation

The Olympic ice hockey tournaments have an innerstrength that goes beyond individual participation.Heroes are made in the Olympics, regardless of whatmerit you bring with you coming into the games andregardless of how your career looked afterwards.

The Herb Brooks-led group of collegians was virtuallyunknown when they arrived in Lake Placid 26 yearsago and none of the 1980 gold medalists ever became superstars, but theircareers will always be measured by what they accomplished in the Olympics.Twenty-two years later that very team was bestowed the highest honor, lightingthe Olympic torch in Salt Lake City 2002.

Olympic heroes don’t become bigger than Peter Forsberg in Lillehammer 1994and Olympic miseries don’t get any deeper than Paul Kariya’s in the same GoldMedal Game between Sweden and Canada. While Forsberg executed his penaltyshot into immortality, Kariya’s subsequent attempt was thwarted and Swedenwon its first ever Olympic hockey gold.

Canadians from coast to coast were dancing in the streets in 2002 as theirwomen’s and men’s teams won, stopping a 50-year gold medal draught.

Whether you win or lose, you have to wait four years to get another shot at thebiggest prize in sport.

The hockey tournament at the Salt Lake City Olympics four years ago was a eyeopener for a vast sports audience in North America and the world. “The best hockeyever displayed” was exposed to 2.1 billion viewers in 160 countries as the coveragedoubled from Nagano 1998.

As international hockey and the NHL have joined forces in stricter rules enforcementto promote the skillful players and the finer parts of our game, we have anotherhistoric opportunity to showcase hockey as the fastest and most skill-filled teamgame in the world.

This Olympic Media Guide reflects the wonderful and rich history of the oldestwinter Olympic team sport, dating back to Antwerp in 1920. It is designed to helpmedia with both historic and current references as you cover the XX OlympicWinter Games.

I hope it will be a useful tool for reporters and something which will make yourjob easier and more rewarding.

I wish you a great Olympic adventure.

Jacques Rogge President IOC

Welcome to Turin to celebrate the XX OlympicWinter Games.

I would like to congratulate the International IceHockey Federation for this comprehensive mediaguide they have prepared to assist you in your work.Your reporting is key to communicating the passionand sporting endeavours that are lived at the Torino2006 Games.

Did you know?Defending Olympic champion Canada has not defeated the Soviet Union/Russiain Olympic competition since 1960 in Squaw Valley. The 8-5-win on February 28against the Soviet Union remains Canada’s lone victory against the SovietUnion/Russia. Canada has since recorded seven consecutive losses against thehistorical rival for an aggregate score of 11-33. But the teams have not met inOlympic competition since the 1992 Gold Medal Game in Albertville whereRussia (Commonwealth of Independent States) downed Canada, 3-1. The foesdid not cross paths in 1972 and 1976 (when Canada withdrew from interna-tional hockey) nor in 1994, 1998 and 2002.

The IIHF World Ranking is based on awarding points for the final positions in the lastfour IIHF World Championships and in the last Olympic Tournament. The 2005 IIHFWorld Ranking is based on the 2005, 2004, 2003 and the 2002 IIHF WorldChampionship and at the 2002 Olympics.

The team that wins the IIHF World Championship gold medal or the Olympic gold medalreceives 1200 points. In general, there is a 20 to 40-point difference between each place(see chart below).

Emphasis is given to results of last year’s events. The system uses a four-year cycle asthe points earned in one year decline within the next 3 years and in the 5th year resultsare dropped from the calculation altogether.The IIHF World Ranking is released followingeach World Championship and Olympics.

Before each event, a pre-championship report is released with the values of the previousseasons already reduced and only the points of the upcoming competition need to beadded to get the IIHF World Ranking for the year.

Example: Value of the gold medalYear 1: 100% value -- 1200 points Year 3: 50% value -- 600 pointsYear 2: 75% value -- 900 points Year 4: 25% value -- 300 points

In the 2006 IIHF Pre-Championship Reportthe values of the 2005,2004 and 2002 IIHFtournaments are alreadyreduced by 25% com-pared to the 2005 finalranking where only thepoints of the 2006Olympic Games need tobe added to get the2006 IIHF World WomenRanking.

In the eight winter Olympics betweenInnsbruck 1964 and Albertville 1992, Soviet Union/Russia only lost four gamesen route to seven gold medals and one silver. Of the four losses only one (4-3against USA in Lake Placid) decided the outcome of the final standing. The otherthree losses were against Czechoslovakia in 1968 and 1992 and Finland in1988.

Did you know?Richard “Bibi” Torriani of Switzerland made his Olympic hockey debut at theage of 16 years and 131 days in St. Moritz 1928, becoming the youngest everparticipant in an Olympic ice hockey tournament. IIHF Hall of Famer Torrianifinished his career in the same city playing for Switzerland in the 1948 Olympicsat the age of 36. He won the bronze medal both times. Torriani, who is con-sidered as the best Swiss hockey player of all time, will have the record brokenby American Chris Chelios, who was named to the Turin Olympics 22 years afterhaving played in his first, in Sarajevo 1984.

Did you know?Two hockey teams under the direction of two competing organizations arrivedin St. Moritz 1948 to play for the United States. One team was sent by the U.S.Amateur Hockey Association (AHAUS) and was supported by the IIHF. The otherwas run by the Amateur Athletic Union. The AAU had represented the U.S. at the1932 and 1936 Olympics and was supported by the IOC. Both American teamsappeared for the opening ceremonies, creating chaos. The IOC first disqualifiedboth teams, but then reinstated the AHAUS team as the legitimate U.S. team.Star forward Jack Riley was on the AHAUS squad, while his brother Joseph wason the other.

Did you know?On February 8, 1976, Soviet Union demolished Poland 16 –1 in their first gameat the Innsbruck Olympics. The Soviets were totally superior throughout thetournament and didn't lose a game, capturing their fourth straight Olympicgold medal. Exactly two months after the massacre at Innsbruck, the sameteams met again on April 8, in the first game of the IIHF WorldChampionship at Katowice, Poland. The Soviets committed the biggest mistakein sports underestimating their opponents.A virtually unknown forward by thename of Wieslaw Jobczyk scored three goals and led Poland to a 6 – 4 victory,arguably the biggest upset in IIHF World Championship history. The SovietUnion team never recovered from the embarrassment and lost the 1976 WorldChampionship to the Czechoslovaks. Poland never recovered either. The nextday, the Poles lost to Czechoslovakia 12– 0 and were later relegated to the B-pool of the World Championships.

Did you know?The 1998 Olympic ice hockey tournament in Nagano is often incorrectly describedas the first where NHL players were allowed to compete. NHL players werealready cleared to play for Calgary 1988. Canada, for example, picked AndyMoog and Randy Gregg of the Edmonton Oilers and Jim Peplinski of the CalgaryFlames, while the USA showed up with Chris Terreri from the New Jersey Devils.

1988 in Calgary was the last time the famous CCCP hockey jersey featured in an Olympichockey tournament.This one belonged to Hall of Fame defenseman Vyacheslav Fetisov, who todayis the Sports Minister in Russia and one of the newest members of the IIHF Hall of Fame.(Photo courtesy of the Hockey Hall of Fame)

This superb Russian trio represents 10 Olympic medals. From left: Vyacheslav Fetisov (2 golds,one silver), Vladislav Tretiak (3 golds, one silver) and Sergey Makarov (2 golds, one silver).Fetisov and Tretiak are Hall of Famers, while Makarov holds the distinction of winning theCalder Trophy (Rookie of the Year in the NHL) 1990 – at the age of 32, the oldest player ever toreceive those honours. Tretiak is one of only two European Hall of Famers (in player’s category)who never played in the NHL.The formidable goaltender retired at the age of 32 after the 1984Olympics as a protest against the Soviet authorities who did not allow his transfer to theMontreal Canadiens, who drafted Tretiak in 1983 (138th overall). All three starred for themighty CSKA Moscow (Red Army) club team.

Two of Europe’s finest centres square off: Sweden’s Mats Sundin vs Finland’s Saku Koivu.Finland won quarterfinal 2-1.

Jaromir Jagr (far left) and Robert Reichel flank the gold celebrations in the dressing room.

Did you know?Petr Svoboda defected from Czechoslovakia at the age of 18 and was drafted by theMontreal Canadiens in the first round a few months after his defection. Svobodasoon became a Canadian citizen, but applied for a Czech passport in the mid-90s fol-lowing the fall of communism. At the age of 32, he was a surprise first-time pick tothe Czech national team for the 1998 Nagano Olympics. Svoboda, a low-scoring de-fenseman, had one shot on goal in the final, which was the only goal scored in theGold Medal game against Russia, giving the Czechs their first ever Olympic hockeygold. This was Svoboda’s first and last goal for the Czech national team. He neverplayed for the Czech Republic again and retired after 17 NHL-seasons in 2001.

Medical GlossaryAbduction: Movement of a joint away from the center of the body.

AC Joint (Acromioclavicular joint): Joint where acromion process of the shoulder blade and thedistal end of the collarbone meet; most shoulder separations occur here.

Adduction: Movement of a joint toward the center of the body.

Adhesion:Abnormal adherence of collagen fibers to surrounding structures during immobilizationfollowing trauma or as a complication of surgery restricting normal elasticity of the structures;or scar tissue forming after trauma or surgery, restricting motion.

Aerobic: Exercise in which energy needed is supplied by oxygen inspired and is required forsustained periods of vigorous exercise with a continually high pulse rate.

Anabolic Steroids: Steroids that promote tissue growth by creating protein in an attempt toenhance muscle growth. The main anabolic steroid is testosterone.

Anaerobic: Exercise without using oxygen as an energy source; short bursts of vigorous exercise.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL):A primary stabilizing ligament in the center of the knee joint thatprevents hyperextension and excessive rotation of the joint. A complete tear of the ACLneeding reconstruction could require up to 12 months of rehabilitation.

Anti-Inflammatory: Any agent which prevents inflammation, such as aspirin or ibuprofen.

Arteriogram: A film demonstrating arteries after injection of a dye.

Arthrogram: X-ray technique for joints using air and/or dye injected into the affected area;useful in diagnosing meniscus tears of the knee and rotator cuff tears of the shoulder.

Arthroscope: An instrument used to visualize the interior of a joint cavity.

Arthroscopy: A surgical examination of the internal structure of a joint through an arthroscope.An arthroscopic procedure can remove or repair damaged tissue or be used as a diagnosticprocedure to inspect the extent of damage or confirm a diagnosis.

Atrophy: To shrivel or shrink from disuse; as in muscular atrophy.

Baker’s Cyst: Localized swelling of a bursa sac in the back of the knee as a result of fluid thathas escaped from the knee capsule. A Baker’s cyst indicates that there is a trauma inside theknee joint that leads to excessive fluid production.

Bone Scan: An imaging procedure in which a radioactive-labeled substance is injected into thebody to determine the status of a bone injury. If the radioactive substance is taken up by thebone at the injury site, the injury will show as a ‘hot spot’ on the scan image. Useful in thediagnosis of stress fractures.

Bursa: A fluid-filled sac located in areas where friction is likely to occur.The bursa sac minimizesfriction, for example, between a tendon and bone.

Cartilage: Smooth, slippery substance preventing two ends of bones from rubbing together andgrating. Most joints use this to cover bones next to each other.

CAT Scan (Computerized Tomography): Use of a computer to produce a cross-sectional view ofthe anatomical part being investigated from x-ray data.

Chondromalacia: Roughening of the articular cartilage. Best known for the roughening of theunderside of the kneecap, which can occur in any kneecap injury.

Clavicle: Collarbone; the bone connecting the breastbone with the shoulder blade.

Coccyx: The ‘tailbone,’ a group of four vertebrae that are fused together to form a smalltriangular bone, located at the terminal end of the spine.

Concussion: Jarring injury of the brain resulting in dysfunction. Graded as mild, moderate orsevere, depending on loss of consciousness, amnesia and loss of equilibrium.

Contusion: An injury to a muscle and tissues caused by a blow from a blunt object.

Corticosteroids: Used to suppress joint inflammation and inflammation in a bursa or near tendons.

Cryotherapy: A treatment with the use of cold.

Cyst: Abnormal sac containing liquid or semi-solid matter.

Degenerative Joint Disease: Changes in joint surfaces due to repetitive trauma.

Deltoid Ligament: Ligament connecting the tibia to bones of the medial part of the foot.Primarily responsible stabalizing the ankle on the medial side. Is sprained less frequently thanother ankle ligaments.

Deltoid Muscle: Muscles at the top of the arm, just below the shoulder, responsible for shouldermotions in the front, side and back.

Disc Intervertebral: A flat, rounded plate between each vertebrae of the spine. The disc consistsof a thick fiber ring which surrounds a soft gel-like interior. It functions as a cushion and shockabsorber for the spinal column.

Dislocation: Complete displacement of joint surfaces.

Electromyogram (EMG): Test to determine nerve function.

Epicondylitis: Inflammation in the elbow due to overuse.

Etiology: Study of the cause of injury and disease.

Extension: Action of straightening of a joint as achieved by an extensor muscle.

Fascia: A connective tissue sheath consisting of fibrous tissue and fat uniting the skin to theunderlying tissue.

Fat Percentage: The amount of body weight that is fat tissue. Can be calculated by underwaterweighing, measuring select skinfold thickness or analyzing electrical impedance.

Femur: Thighbone; longest bone in the body.

Fibula: Smaller of the two bones in the lower leg; runs from the knee to the ankle along theoutside of the lower leg.

Flexibility: The ability of muscle to relax and yield to stretch forces.

Fracture: Breach in continuity of a bone. Types of fractures include simple, compound,comminuted, greenstick, incomplete, impacted, longitudinal, oblique, stress or transverse.

Glenohumeral: The shoulder girdle; consists of the glenoid capsule, head of the humerus and labrum.

Glenoid: Cavity of the scapula where the head of the humerus fits to the shoulder girdle.

Glenoid Labrum: A rim of fibrocartilaginous tissue attached around the margin of the glenoid fossa.

Grade One Injury: A mild injury in which ligament, tendon or other musculoskeletal tissue mayhave been stretched, but not torn or otherwise disrupted.

Grade Two Injury: A moderate injury in which musculoskeletal tissue has been partially, but nottotally torn, causing limitation in function of the injured tissue.

Grade Three Injury: A severe injury in which tissue loss has been significant, and in many cases,totally torn or otherwise disrupted, causing a virtual loss of function.

Groin: Junction of the thigh and abdomen, location of muscles that rotate, flex and adduct the hip.Hammer Toe: Condition when the first digit of a toe is at a different angle that the remainingdigits of the same toe.

Hamstring: Category of muscle that runs from the buttocks to the knee along the back of thethigh. It functions to flex the knee.

Hemarthrosis: Accumulation of blood within a joint as a result of an acute injury.

Hematoma: Mass due to an accumulation of coagulated blood in a cavity or soft tissues.

Hip Pointer: Contusion to the iliac crest.Hydrotherapy: Treatment using water.

Hyperextension: Extreme extension of a limb or body part.

Iliotibial Band: A thick, wide fascial layer running from the iliac crest to the knee joint on theoutside thigh.

Inflammation: The body’s natural response to injury in which the injury site displays variousdegrees of pain, swelling, heat, redness and/or loss of function.

Isometric Contraction: Muscule contraction where tension is developed but no mechanical work is done.

Labrum (Labrum Glenoidule): The cartilage of the glenoid cavity in the shoulder. A lip-edged orlip-like structure.

Quadricep Muscles: A group of four muscles of the front thigh running from the hip and forminga common tendon at the patella. Responsible for knee extension.

Radius: Bone in the forearm from elbow to the thumb side of the wrist.

Reconstruction: Surgical rebuilding of a joint using natural, artificial or transplanted materials.

Did you know?The legendary Jacques Plante isgenerally acclaimed as the manwho introduced the goaliefacemask. That was in a gamebetween Plante's MontrealCanadiens and the New YorkRangers on November 2, 1959.However, as we can see in thispicture, Japanese goaltenderTeiji Honma wore a mask asearly as in the 1936 WinterOlympics. Maybe Honma wasinspired by the great ClintBenedict, the Montreal Maroonsgoaltender, who introducedthe face mask during the 1929-30 season. Benedict had toabandon the mask shortlyafterwards because it ob-structed his vision.

❐ Upon receipt of an A sample adverse analytical finding (positive test), the IOC Medical Commissionshall conduct a review to determine whether:a) an applicable therapeutic use exemption has beengranted, or b) there is any apparent discrepancy from the International Standards for Testing orLaboratory Analysis that undermines the validity of the adverse analytical finding.

❐ If a prohibited substance or the use of a prohibited method is identified, the findings shall bereported by the IOC Medical Commission to the IOC President who shall immediately set up aDisciplinary Commission. A person designated by the IOC President shall, in confidence,promptly notify the athlete, the athlete's chef-de-mission and the International Federation.

❐ Upon identification of an adverse analytical finding the athlete has the right to request testingof the B sample.The athlete may accept the A sample results by waving the requirement forB sample analysis.

❐ Athlete with a positive test of the A sample shall be provisionally suspended and cleared toresume playing only if and after the test of the B sample proved to be negative. If apositive result is established, the athlete will be removed from the tournament and will besubject to IOC and IIHF sanctions.

❐ If more than one team member has been notified of a possible anti-doping violation, theteam shall be subject to target testing for the period of the Olympic Games. If more thanone team member is found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation during theperiod of the Olympic Games, the team may be subject to disqualification or other disciplinaryaction, as provided in the applicable rules of the International Federation.

Did you know?There have been 3,089 doping tests performed in conjunction to Olympic icehockey tournaments and various IIHF World Championships since 1994. Thetests include both out-of-competition as well as in-competition testing. Out ofthose doping tests, eight (8) have been positive for a percentage of 0.258.Therewere 40 tests done prior to Salt Lake City 2002 and another 120 during thegames. All were negative.

Did you know?The only time an Olympic gold medal was decided in a game winning shotcompetition (“shootout”) was in 1994 in Lillehammer. A brave Team Canada,comprised mostly of minor leaguers and amateurs, held a 2 – 1 lead until 18.11of the third period when Sweden scored a power-play goal to even it up.Canada also had a 2-0 lead in the shootout competition, but with the scoretied 2 – 2, Peter Forsberg gave Sweden its first Olympic gold by netting thegame winning shot on Canadian goalie Corey Hirsch (see photo above).Forsberg’s incredibly daring move, where he faked to the left and slid the puckwith one hand under Hirsch’s glove on the right side, is replayed as often onSwedish television as Paul Henderson’s 1972 goal is shown in Canada.The picture of the goal was eventually reproduced as a postage stamp inSweden. The postal authorities got permission from Peter Forsberg, but weredeclined by Corey Hirsch. The art designer had to change the goalie’s shirtcolour and number so Hirsch would no longer be identified. On the stamp, thejersey is blue instead of red and his number 1 is changed to 11.
