HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- The Triple Gold Club is regarded as the most prestigious and most exclusive group that the game of hockey has to offer. With the club containing just 30 members at the time of this recording and with each member needing to win some of the sport's most difficult awards, it takes a significant amount of skill and a tremendous amount of luck to earn a place within the group.
So what is the Triple Gold Club? How did it become a part of the sport, and how does a player join? Well let's delve deeper into hockey's most exclusive group and find out!

Roberto Luongo was agonizingly close. IIHF gold in 2003, Olympic gold in 2010 and 2014, but was 1 win away from the Stanley Cup in 2011.
Price also was pretty close last year, but admittedly not as close
Matt Duchene, as well, just not what you think.
Valtteri Filppula could be next one, if he wins in World Championship games. And if Petteri Lindbohm gets to Panthers and they win, he could be one too.
Valtteri Filppula might be the next one to join the club. He doesent have the WC gold, but the tournament is coming up in a few months. Hope he will play for the team.
or lindbohm
WC is also in Finland
@@jozefberes250 But champ will be the Czech Republic. Good joke, isn´t it?
ON!
With recent olympic gold for findland, Valterri Filppula is only missing a WCH to his resume in order to join the club as the first Finn
what the fuck is findland? i know you are a human too
Jere Lehtinen won WC & Stanley Cup as a player and Olympic's as a GM
Jukka Jalonen (the Finnish national teams coach) could technically speaking have a shot at this in a managerial role. He has coached Finland to the U20 gold, mens worlds gold and a mens olympic gold and he has shown interest in coaching in the NHL. I feel like he definately should be employed by an NHL team although his success in the league isn't certain by any means.
Jukka would be perfect Coach for teams vegas or tampa they are so equal in every line jukka knows how important is to not over play anyone
Jukka will never get an NHL coaching gig because he's not an ex-NHL player from Canada.
Shout out to Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron, first and ONLY player in pro hockey history to win the IIHF World Championship before the U20 Championship
Owen Power and Cole Perfetti have a good chance of joining him this year.
Who cares?
@@kitfisto1827 hockey fans. Duh. And apparently you, enough to make a reply.
This is one of your very best video's you have ever made my friend!!!
I believe it was very well covered and well explained and for those not to much knowledge about the prestigious "Triple Gold Club".
It is indeed the most clanging task in the ice hockey world for any player to achieve all three championships, something many great players have never succeeded in the past and many future players will not make as well. It is not all about skills, but timing, motivation, health and a good portion of luck!
Patrick Sharp, Ryan Getzlaf, Martin St. Louis, Duncan Keith and Chris Kunitz would all be in the TGC if they had won the 2008 world hockey championship, they were so close
I think Sidney Crosby is the only member of this club who has also been the captain of all three teams.
Yes he is
He said that in the video.
the world needs to put pressure on the NHL to be more embracing of the winter Olympics.
The NHL does what is best for its bottom line and couldn't care less about what the fans want.
@@mikeklein1779 yup
amazing video!!!! answered every question I had about the triple gold club.
Great video! I think the "exclusiveness" of the Triple Gold Club certainly peaked a little while ago, especially since the World Champs aren't best on best and the Olympics haven't been since 2014. I hope that changes though.
How is Mogilny not in the hall of fame? Criminally underrated
Tbh feels like it was canadians thinking they were first and wanted to brag about it, like "hey let's call this something fancy so we seem like better than others"... 😂
Frank Frederickson and Dunc Monro played until 1932, Hooley Smith played until 1941 and Dave Trottier played until 1939. Couldn't find when Holder stopped playing, but all others played hockey after World Championship was created. So I could get behind the idea IF their career ended before 1930.
Crosby has also won the World Cup of Hockey and The World junior Championship
Quintuple club then... further possibilities: U18 WCh, KHL victory, Spengler Cup, AHL (Calder Cup), Iswestja Cup,...
@@amina-pr8xt Those other competitions are not best on best so...
@@detailsdetails...9571 that's right, but neither were/are world championships actually, and most olympic tournaments
@@amina-pr8xt The World Championship inclusion is a concession to the IIHF but you are right about the Olympics. The award is relevant because most hockey players aspire to play and win these titles. Nobody really cares about the Spengler Cup
@@detailsdetails...9571 actually crosby is not the only one to have won these 5 tournaments which are called the grand slam
You might want to edit that part about Bouwmeester retiring in a good way. The guy’s heart nearly gave out during the middle of a game in Anaheim and luckily he survived, but he had to retire as a result. He didn’t get to leave on his own terms and the Blues were (at the time) still playing great. It was quite a blow to the team and they looked much different after losing him.
Amazing how you manage to proceed with business as usual!👍
Excellent research. What makes it hard to win a IIHF Worlds gold is that NHL players who have won Olympic Gold and maybe a Stanley Cup are probably playing in the NHL playoffs every year, thereby missing out on the Worlds at the peak of their careers. By the time a player who only needs a Worlds championship to join the TGC is available because he was on a crappy NHL team that didn't make the playoffs that season, the player might not be called up to play for the national team at the Worlds because he's over the hill. Very very tough to win all 3. Martin Brodeur is a great example who lost out because his Devils teams were always in the playoffs during the peak of his career, and he really never played in the Worlds. HOWEVER Brodeur did win gold in the World Cup of Hockey in 2004, which might be even more exclusive.
Valtteri Filppula just joined as of today
Valtteri Filppula has a chance to join the club if he plays and wins the 2022 IIHF World Championships :)
Marc-Andre Fleury is close to 3 cup and two Olympic gold in 2010 and 2014
i was shocked about Broduer but it makes sense because he spent most of his career deep in the NHL playoffs.
Worlds is kind of dependent on who makes the playoffs. Often times players do not even feel like going. I remember Ryan Miller in his prime said “I would rather just rest and then train over the summer”. I’m not taking anything away from the winners. You work with what you have. I feel like WJ could be used as an alternative for it though.
Imagine being coached by the only triple gold coach in history and not even winning a playoff series
That wasnt Babcock.
Thank you for a great video. It's well researched and covered a lot of the facts. I've been missing a great video to point to when discussing this club. I think it should be better known, by everyone interested in this great sport.
I did miss one curious fact and would have loved to hear your take on it, which is that no American player has joined the club yet. Why do you think that is?
Great video OMR!
They should add the World Juniors
Grand Slam Gold
+ World Cup of Hockey, KHL, Spengler Cup,
Kimo Timmonen has Silver at Olympics, Worlds, Stanley (final loss) + WCH. But I don't know if he is the only member of this "club"
Valtteri Filppula (2008 Stanley Cup, 2022 Olympic gold). 2022 WC at home.
Matt Duchene just needs the Stanley Cup to join the Club
There is another triple gold club for winning 3 gold medals the same year. In 2006 sweden won both the world championship and the olympic goldmedal. There are some players who were in both of those rosters but only one who also won a gold medal that same year in Shl in sweden and that is swedish forward Jörgen Jönsson with Färjestad BK.
martin st louis was insanely close too. He got silver twice in the IIHF finals. the 2008 silver medal came when they lost in overtime to russia.
Not a lot of focus on Scott Niedermayer. Not only did he win and captain an Olympic gold but four Stanley cups also as a captain of two plus a world championship,a memorial cup championship and a world junior championship. He also won the Norris Trophy. Perhaps the most underrated player in NHL history
Regarding Munro et al: it's not their fault the WCh didn't exist in their time, but it's also not Gretzkys fault that he participated in only one WCh (he usually went far in the Stanley Cup POs with his clubs), not the fault of Kharlamov that he wasn't allowed to play in the NHL, not the fault ...
👌👍 Magnificient 👍
It should be a cup, world junior gold medal and an Olympic gold/World Cup.
Näslund was known as the Le Petit Viking in Montreal.
Very few hockey players set out to win the World Championship. If you are an NHL player competing at the worlds, then your team either failed to make the playoffs or were beaten out in the first round. A more significant triple would be the Stanley Cup, Olympic Gold and a World Junior Gold. These three are titles that hockey players would actually aspire to.
That said, I would like to see a list of players who won all 4. I know Sidney Crosby did it.
+ World Cup of Hockey
Try to win all these awards:
Stanley Cup
Calder Cup
Kelly Cup
Gagarin Cup
Allan Cup
NCAA Championship
President's Cup
J. Ross Robertson Cup
Ed Chynoweth Cup
Memorial Cup
World Junior Gold
World Championship Gold
Winter Olympic Gold
Spengler Cup
World Cup of Hockey
I Predict Marc Andre Flury will be the first goalie, he just needs to win the World hockey championship, same with Drew Doughty
You didn’t even mention Corey Perry or Scott Niedermayer whom have won a Stanley Cup, Olympic gold medal, World Championship, World Junior Championship, Memorial Cup and Canada/World Cup title. The only two in the history of hockey to do so.
Because the video is only about the Triple Gold Club?
FILPPULAA
no mario lemieux?
He only played in 1 World Championship and Canada finished 2nd that year. He's got 2 Stanley Cups and an Olympic gold, so he just fell short of this feat.
@@kentmartin9289 im pretty sure lemieux and team canada won gold in the 2004 world cup...but maybe the world cup is not a world championship then?
@@bobbyr.7578 correct. The World Championship is different from the World Cup, and Canada Cup. This triple gold club doesn't account for winning a World Cup, Canada Cup, or Summit Series. So Lemieux doesn't count in this despite winning 2 Stanley Cups, a Canada Cup, an Olympics, and a World Cup. Gretzky doesn't get in either with his 4 Stanley Cups and 3 Canada Cups. It goes without saying this doesn't make Hakan Loob or Rob Blake a better player than Lemieux or Gretzky.
Add the world Juniors to this make it the quad Gold club
The Triple Gold Club isn't hockey's most exclusive club. You would need to add in a Memorial Cup and World Junior Gold for that list. Only two players have ever done it. Corey Perry and Scott Niedermayer.
Yeah, "most exclusive club" is all a matter of defining what counts as a club. You could even say the 2000 point club is even more exclusive because Gretzky is the only player in that club. Or the 3000 point club because NOBODY is in that club.
double gold club
canada 5 player olympic and Stanley cup
This is MY video. You stole my script almost verbatim.... what the F?????????
That's quite the accusation you're throwing out there bud...
I'll admit, I did watch your video and really enjoyed it as it was very well made, but I didn't even know your video on the subject existed until after I had already written & edited my own script, so unless you used the exact same sources as I did (which aren't exactly hard to find), you can hardly accuse me of copying your video "verbatim"...
It's a shame, I was hoping to congratulate you on a video well made...
@@OddManRush Man, it's very disheartening. Being a RUclips Creator means being creative not regurgitating smaller youtubers videos because you have a bigger audience. This is embarrassing.
I had scheduled to make a video on the Triple Gold Club weeks ago, you're not the first person to come up with the idea, nor do you own sole ownership of the concept of discussing the subject.
Once again, I didn't even know your video existed until after I had already researched, written and edited my own script on the topic: I'm not gonna scrap the whole video and all the work that went into it just because someone else also happened to make a video on the same subject before me.
Your inability or your refusal to realise any of these points are the real embarrassment here bud.
Call me crazy, but it could just be two RUclipsrs making a video about the same popular topic.
If you are going to make exceptions for the players before the World Championships, then you have to make exceptions for all the NHL players who were not allowed to compete in the amateur Olympics. Not their fault either, right?
Let's go!!!!! Red-Wings!!!!
Price was 3 wins away from joining last season
Bouwmeester 👏👏👏
Eric Staal face of the triple gold club
Fun fact: While others have reached the Triple Gold Club faster, Staal is the only one to get all three legs on the first try (first Olympics, first Worlds, first season in NHL)
@@ngarcia103 he won the cup with Carolina in his 2nd NHL season. He played his rookie year in 03-04.
@@bartholomewesperanza3442 (I got that above stat from the IIHF Guide and Record Book; I'm shocked they got that wrong)
This club means nothing as we've seen recently with the NHL denying players 1/3 of it in Korea and in China.
There would be many many more Canadians on this list if we could have taken our best to the Olympics and the Worlds ,instead they were playing in the NHL . Plus the World Championship is always held during the NHL playoffs so we can never bring our best to that tourny.
Canada is not the only one hockey country in the world, other countries can't take the best they have due to SC play offs too
@@krystofhavir7593 Yes but best on best I'd put my money on Canada ,but that will never happen at the Worlds and only on and off at the Olympics !
@@rayvanstone3740 Yeah Canadians would be able to build 5 team which could be top contenders for gold, but you can only sent one. USA, Sweden, Russia and maybe even Finland and Czech republic are able to build at least one team, which could be tough opponent for Canada
IIHF WHC is just a B tournament. It doesn't have all the best hockey players competing. The Canada Cup and the World Cup of Hockey is more important then the WHC.
What a joke. Who says it is prestigious? The IIHF blowing its own horn. The real triple gold would be stanley cup, world cup, formerly Canada Cup, and Olympics in a best on best year. Who belongs in that club? Anyone?
World championship is usually a bit of a joke. Olympics are getting that way.
Crosby also has world junior gold and World Cup gold. And honestly most die hard hockey fans would agree the worlds is 5th out of these 5 in terms of importance
Way to go trying to change it about Crosby... Yeah no shit, too bad he ain't the only one :/ why didn't you talk about others? Oh yeah, Crosby this Crosby that :)
No it isn't, that is POV in America, in Europe it is like this 1.Olympic Gold 2.WCH 3.Stanley Cup 4. WJCH 5. World cup
If anyone cared about the World Cup, it would still exist.
@@mikeklein1779 But it does tho...? It's not an every year event dude..
@@KalmoK good point. Given the frequency with which it's scheduled, I could be eating my words when the next one happens in 2032. Or maybe 2036. Nobody seems to be sure.
how about the world Cup of hockey jk
IMO it should be the WC of Hockey (prior Canada Cup) and not a tournament what happens every year like IIHF World Cup
i'm sorry but haldor halderson is not a real person
Glad Ovi will NEVER be a member!
Filppula is next. Finland wins 2022 wcs
really think olympic gold means anything anymore considering that NHL players haven't been allowed to play since 2014
Hmmm 🤔 I always thought that a guy from team USA in Lake Placid NY in 1980 was the first to win all 3,,, when he won the Stanley cup just a few months after winning Olympic gold at Lake Placid,,, and yes Andrei Vasilevsky DOES have a shot at being the first ever goalie… if the world would get off of Russias ass for things that the players have no control over.
You are wrong. The Russian (ex-Soviet) player were able to join the NHL in larger numbers during the end of the 1980's when the Union was falling aparts. Learn your facts and don't stare only in the playing stats dude!
Oh where is Gretzky? Not so great after all....
He's just chilling with his 4 Stanley Cup wins, and 3 Canada Cup wins (which was the best international tournament during the vast majority of his career since NHLers weren't allowed in the Olympics). Oh, he also happens to have 6 international scoring titles, most of all time. So you know, maybe he is still pretty great.
Englishman talking about hockey, what a cringe...
