	World Cup of Hockey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Canada Wins Hockey's World Cup
		Last week's World Cup victory over the Finns gave Canada its fourth international title in elite men's hockey since 2002, when it clinched the gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
		You would think, after such a clamour, that a few hockey types would use last week's victory to settle scores; no one, after all, likes to be accused of squandering the national birthright.
		So as reporters and family members mobbed the undefeated team in the Canadian dressing room, Hockey Canada's easygoing president, Bob Nicholson, stood quietly in the margins, denying any suggestion that he'd shown the nattering so-and-sos what the country is made of, and warning of greater competition ahead.
