The Americans were thrown out with the World Cup. So they have not yet been disgraced
The prestigious tournament turned into a disaster for the US team.
The US national team has long been entering the world elite, being considered a contender for medals at every major tournament.
However, at the World Cup in Sweden, the Americans failed and left the competition, without winning a single victory.
They sent an experienced team
The history of the world championships can be divided into two large periods, where the border is 1977, when the NHL players were able to become full participants in the national team tournaments. Until then, the hockey federations of Canada and the United States had to show remarkable fantasy in order to gain a worthy team to the main team of national teams. Americans, for example, often brought students and lovers.
In the US national team, the 1969 model was not truly large stars, but it cannot be said that “passengers” came to the tournament in Sweden. For example, the 1960 world champion John Mayasich, who also performed the functions of the head coach. In the USA, Mayasich was known and respected. For example, it was he who owned the record of the National Student Association (NCAA) for the number of points scored in one match.
Also, many future members of various hockey halls of Glory were included in the composition. For the first time, the goalkeeper Mike Carran said loudly about himself. The company was drawn up by participants in the 1968 Olympics Larry Stordal, Robert Paradise and others. At Greno Green Groups, US representatives took sixth place.
Anturectory
But at the World Cup in Sweden from the very first game, the Americans went awry – the US national team ran into the real rout of the USSR team. The second time in history, the team lost with a score of 2:17. The Americans simply did not have more defeats, but with the same result they were inferior to the Swedes in 1963.
The next day, the squad Mayasich lost to the Czechs. After the uniform defeat from Soviet hockey players, the defeat with a score of 3: 8 could be considered a completely tolerable result. Then the Americans received a vacation day, but he did not help them. There were two major lesions from Sweden (2: 8) and Canada (0: 5). Only under the curtain of the first round, the squad from the United States managed to impose a decent struggle. On March 21, she lost to the Finns – 3: 4.
The Americans held the second circle better. They allowed the Canadian national team to score only one puck, but still lost – 0: 1. Despite the game progress, the US team was not able to score at least one point, returning home with the last place.
Such a weak performance led to the fact that the United States lost their place in the elite division of the World Cup and next year were forced to fight for the right to return. Since then, a lot of water has flowed, the regular use of NHL players helps to avoid such shameful performances, but in the USA they still prefer not to talk about the iconic failure of 1969.
