So schnell kanns gehen. Gestern noch die Spieler bestimmt, heute rausgeflogen...

Zinetula Bilyaletdinov appointed new head coach of Russia’s national team; replaces Viktor Tikhonov.
The Ice Hockey Federation of Russia today announced at a press conference in Moscow that former national team defenseman Zinetula Bilyaletdinov, 49, is taking over as head coach of the Russian national team. Federation president Alexander Steblin also announced that Viktor Tikhonov, 74, will remain with the national team as senior consultant. Tikhonov returned to the Russian national team one year ago and was the head coach in the 2004 IIHF World Championship in the Czech Republic.



Bilyaletdinov made his debut with the Soviet national team at the inaugural 1976 Canada Cup, the forerunner of the World Cup of Hockey, and his first assignment as national team head coach will be to lead Russia in the World Cup of Hockey 2004 (August 30 – September 14).



Igor Tuzik, the Vice-President of the Ice Hockey Federation of Russia, was named as General Manager of Team Russia for the World Cup of Hockey 2004.



Mr. Steblin declared at the press conference that Bilyaletdinov’s assignment is for the World Cup, but that it can be extended if Russia’s World Cup experience proves successful. The World Cup of Hockey is organized by the NHL and by the NHLPA in cooperation with the IIHF and its membership. See http://www.wch2004.com/ for more information on the World Cup of Hockey 2004.



The Ice Hockey Federation of Russia further announced that Vladimir Yurzinov and Valeri Belousov will be senior coach advisors in the process leading up to the World Cup. Bilyaletdinov will announce the definite coaching staff at a later date. Yurzinov, who is head coach of the Kloten Flyers of the Swiss league, was Viktor Tikhonov’s assistant coach in the 2004 IIHF World Championship in the Czech Republic while Belousov is head coach of the Russian league champion Avangard Omsk.



Zinetula Bilyaletdinov was coaching Dynamo Moscow of the Russian league the past season. Known in North America as “Coach Bill”, his international coaching experience includes four years with the NHL Winnipeg Jets/Phoenix Coyotes franchise (1993-1997) as a member of the coaching staff and later Bilyaletdinov also spent a period as an assistant coach of the NHL Chicago Blackhawks and as head coach of HC Lugano of the Swiss league, in 2002, before returning to Dynamo Moscow.



Bilyaletdinov was a six-time IIHF World Championship gold medallist for the Soviet Union. He also won the Olympic gold medal in Sarajevo in 1984 and was part of the Soviet squad which captured the 1981 Canada Cup. Bilyaletdinov also played in the 1984 Canada Cup.



The Ice Hockey Federation of Russia further named Lithuanian forward Dainius Zubrus (NHL Washington Capitals) to the Russian World Cup roster. The 26-year old winger is a Lithuanian citizen, but is eligible to play for Russia in the World Cup of Hockey, where the IIHF eligibility rules do not apply. The Ice Hockey Federation of Russia received the clearance from the Lithuanian Ice Hockey Association to use Zubrus in the World Cup, which does not forfeit his eligibility to play for Lithuania in future IIHF championships.



Mr. Steblin announced that the complete Russian roster will be named on May 31.

Lecavalier named to Team Canada, replaces Yzerman

Canadian Press

Vincent Lecavalier will replace the injured Steve Yzerman on Canada's team for the World Cup of Hockey, joining Tampa Bay teammates Brad Richards and Martin St. Louis after all.

Team Canada named Lecavalier to the team Sunday after Yzerman told executive director Wayne Gretzky he would not be ready for the Aug. 30-Sept. 14 tournament.

The 39-year-old Detroit Red Wings captain suffered an eye injury in the playoffs and hasn't yet decided whether he will return for another NHL season.

"Steve has indicated that he will be unable to participate in the World Cup of Hockey this summer due to his injury situation and that he felt that he would not be ready to be at the level of conditioning required," Gretzky said in a statement released by Hockey Canada on Sunday evening.

Lecavalier, the first-overall pick in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, got the call over centre Keith Primeau of the Philadelphia Flyers, who is still feeling the effects of a concussion he suffered in the playoffs.

Sources indicate Lecavalier's selection was a unanimous choice with Team Canada's management (Gretzky, Kevin Lowe, Steve Tambellini) and coaching staff (Pat Quinn, Jacques Martin, Ken Hitchcock and Wayne Fleming).

Lecavalier, 24, was a surprise omission when Team Canada first named its 26-player roster May 15, but he didn't let it affect him as he helped lead the Lightning to a Stanley Cup championship. He had 16 playoff points (9-7) in 23 games after putting up 66 points (32-34) in 81 regular-season games.

Training camp for the World Cup starts Aug. 20 in Ottawa and Gretzky may have another player to add before then if veteran star defenceman Rob Blake of the Colorado Avalanche can't go because of a shoulder injury. Team Canada expects an update on his condition in early August.

Scott Hannan of the San Jose Sharks, Jay Bouwmeester of the Florida Panthers and Bryan McCabe of the Toronto Maple Leafs are among the leading candidates to replace Blake if he can't go.

Gretzky said recently he was confident that superstar centre Mario Lemieux would be ready to go. The Pittsburgh Penguins owner/player is recovering from season-ending hip surgery.

Gomez replaces Roenick on Team USA

Canadian Press - 7/14/2004

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CP) - Centre Scott Gomez of the New Jersey Devils was named to the World Cup team for the United States on Wednesday, replacing centre Jeremy Roenick of the Philadelphia Flyers.

Roenick suffered a broken jaw and a concussion when he was struck with a point shot during a game last season and missed 20 games before returning in March and playing in the playoffs although few believed he was at 100 per cent.

``We are disappointed Jeremy will not be able to play in the World Cup of Hockey although we certainly respect his health concerns and we wish him and his family the best,'' U.S. team GM Larry Pleau said in a statement.

``We're thrilled to be able to add a player with the abilities of Scott Gomez. It was a difficult decision to not select Scott to the initial roster, but there were some very good players not named. He'll be a quality addition to the team.''

Gomez was a surprise omission when the U.S. named its original 26-player roster May 20, but some suspected it was payback for him declining to play in the world hockey championship in Prague this spring.

The 24-year-old tied a career-high with 70 points (14-56) last season while recording a plus-18 rating in 80 games. The native of Anchorage, Alaska, played in two world junior championships in 1998 and '99.

Kapanen won't play for Finland

7/26/2004

Head Coach Raimo Summanen announced today that two new players will join the Finnish team for the World Cup of Hockey.

Forward Niklas Hagman of the Florida Panthers will replace Sami Kapanen, who feels is unable to play on top level at this stage after the tough NHL season with the Philadelphia Flyers. New York Islanders' defenceman Janne Niinimaa will replace Jere Karalahti.

Since Karalahti remains suspended from play in the National Hockey League pursuant to the terms of the NHL/NHLPA Program for Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health, he has been deemed ineligible for participation in the upcoming World Cup of Hockey.

While suspended from the NHL, Karalahti has been playing in the Finnish Elite League with HIFK Helsinki.

The WCH 2004 tournament takes place in Europe and North America from August 30 to September 14.

Blake won't play in World Cup

7/26/2004

Rob Blake will not be available to play for Canada in the upcoming World Cup of Hockey, TSN has learned.

The Colorado defenceman, who has been battling a shoulder injury suffered during last spring's Stanley Cup playoffs, informed Team Canada executive director Wayne Gretzky of his situation on Monday.

Canada's management staff had been considering three possible replacements for Blake: Florida's Jay Bouwmeester, Toronto's Bryan McCabe and Scott Hannan of the San Jose Sharks.

Sources have told TSN that the Canadian management team will select Hannan to replace Blake, primarily due to his outstanding performance in San Jose's playoff run, where he battled Keith Tkachuk, Peter Forsberg and Jarome Iginla.

The loss of Blake leaves Canada without one of it's most experienced international players. Blake has represented his country five times in the World Championship, winning gold in 1994 and 1997. In addition, he has played for Canada in both the 1998 and 2002 Olympics, as well as the inaugural World Cup in 1996.

Belfour pulls out of World Cup

Canadian Press
8/9/2004

(CP) - Veteran goalie Ed Belfour has pulled out of the World Cup of Hockey less than two weeks before Team Canada opens training camp in Ottawa, citing a back problem.

The Toronto Maple Leafs netminder informed Team Canada executive director Wayne Gretzky of his decision Monday.

``I talked to Eddie this morning and unfortunately he won't be able to play,'' Gretzky told The Canadian Press in a phone interview. ``He's got a back problem, a back injury.''

The 39-year-old Belfour would have been the No. 2 or No. 3 goalie behind Olympic starter Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils. Roberto Luongo of the Florida Panthers, who has led Canada to back-to-back world championship gold medals, is also on the team.

Jose Theodore of the Montreal Canadiens is the leading candidate to replace Belfour while Marty Turco of the Dallas Stars and Sean Burke of the Philadelphia Flyers have outside chances.

Gretzky said he would confer with the rest of the Canadian management team, Kevin Lowe and Steve Tambellini, and likely name Belfour's replacement in the next few days.

Belfour, a native of Carmen, Man., went 34-19-6 with the Leafs last season while posting a 2.13 goals-against average, .918 save percentage and registering 10 shutouts.

He was brilliant in Toronto's first-round playoff win over Ottawa this spring and that was a major factor in him being named to Team Canada on May 15, edging out Theodore.

``I feel horrible for Eddie,'' Gretzky said. ``He was so wonderful in Salt Lake City, just tremendous in the locker-room and great with the guys. I felt like he would get an opportunity to play (at the World Cup).

``So I'm really disappointed for Eddie.''

The good news is that Canada has no shortage of talent in goal with the likes of Theodore, Turco, Giguere and Andrew Raycroft to choose from, just to name a few.

``We have a lot of depth in our country, we don't lack ability, so we're pretty fortunate that way that we have a couple of goalies to choose from now that could have been on the team originally,'' Gretzky said.

Belfour joins Steve Yzerman and Rob Blake as three high-profile veterans from the Olympic champion team in Salt Lake having to pull out because of injury after first being named to the team May 15.

``You don't replace an Yzerman, not just for what he does on the ice, but his leadership off the ice,'' Gretzky said, while also praising Blake and Belfour. ``He's one of the greatest leaders we've had in this game.

``He played the gold medal game in Salt Lake City basically on one foot.''

Centre Vincent Lecavalier replaced Yzerman and defenceman Scott Hannan took over for Blake. The final 26-player roster must be submitted to World Cup organizers Aug. 29, on the eve of the Aug. 30-Sept. 14 NHL tournament.

With Yzerman, Blake and Belfour out, it's a younger Team Canada which will open camp Aug. 20 in Ottawa and kick off its tournament Aug. 31 in Montreal against the defending World Cup champion United States.

``There's no question we have a lot of new blood on this team and it's a bit of a different mix from Salt Lake, but all of these guys have been through the Canadian system, whether it'd be world juniors or world championships, that's what is so great about our program,'' Gretzky said.

``They'll have tremendous leadership from guys like Adam Foote, Mario Lemieux, Jarome Iginla, guys who have been there before.''

It's not clear at this point whether Belfour, who signed a multi-year contact extension with the Leafs on June 30, is seriously injured or not.

``We are in the process of gathering information on Ed Belfour's status,'' Leafs GM John Ferguson said in a statement released late Monday afternoon.

``We will provide more information when our club doctors have had an opportunity to examine him.''

PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- The Czech Republic will be without National Hockey League star Robert Lang of the Detroit Red Wings at the forthcoming World Cup of Hockey, an official said Friday.
Lang will be replaced by Anaheim Mighty Ducks forward Petr Sykora, said Pavel Barta, spokesman for the Czech team. No reason was given for the replacement.

The tournament will be held from Aug. 30 to Sept. 14 at several sites in North America and Europe. The Czechs will be placed in the European Pool, along with Finland, Germany and Sweden.
Other star forwards on the Czech team include Jaromir Jagr of the New York Rangers, Patrik Elias of the New Jersey Devils and Milan Hejduk of the Colorado Avalanche.

Kubina withdraws from World Cup
August 10, 2004


PRAGUE (AP) - Czech defenceman Pavel Kubina of the Tampa Bay Lightning is the latest NHL star to pull out of the World Cup of Hockey.

Kubina, 27, suffered a concussion during the Stanley Cup final and still is not feeling well, said Pavel Barta, a spokesman for the Czech team. A replacement was not named.

It's another blow to the Czechs, who announced last week that Detroit Red Wings centre Robert Lang was being replaced by Anaheim Mighty Ducks forward Petr Sykora for the Aug. 30-Sept. 14 tournament.

Schneider auch nicht am Wold Cup of Hockey dabei...
From USA Hockey:

'Mathieu has informed us that, due to his unsettled contract situation, he has regretfully withdrawn from competing in the World Cup of Hockey,' said Pleau. 'We are disappointed that he will be unable to participate, but at the same time excited to add Hal's unique skills, physical presence on defense and recent international experience to our lineup.'

Translation: He can't risk getting hurt, so he's not going to play. (He might also not look so good without Lidstrom as a partner!)

Boston Bruin Hal Gill will replace him.

World Cup: Fedorov, Zhamnov, Bure out

Canadian Press
8/11/2004

Star centre Sergei Fedorov and forwards Alexei Zhamnov and Valeri Bure have notified Russia's team that they won't play in the World Cup of Hockey.

Players on many of the eight teams entered have been pulling out as harried managers prepare to open camps late next week for the biggest hockey tournament outside of the Olympics.

Fedorov didn't feel he was up to playing, agent Pat Brisson said from Santa Monica, Calif.

"He's nursing a few minor injuries - nothing major but he's not 100 per cent,'' said Brisson. "He skated in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago and he didn't feel quite ready.

"He's a little disappointed because he hasn't played in a while now.''

Fedorov, 34, who helped the Detroit Red Wings win the Stanley Cup three times before jumping to Anaheim, missed the playoffs with the Mighty Ducks last spring. He was being counted on to be a leader on the Russian team for the Aug. 30-Sept. 14 World Cup.

His withdrawal, along with those of Zhamnov, Bure and earlier no-goes, sends the Russians reeling.

Goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin of the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier declined to play for them, and goalie Evgeni Nabokov of the San Jose Sharks is said to be unfit after arthroscopic knee surgery.

Defenceman Alexei Zhitnik's agent said earlier this week his client won't show up because he's an unrestricted free agent and applicable insurance coverage hasn't been obtained.

Bure and Zhamnov, both UFAs, are in the same boat.

Replacements for Fedorov, Bure, Zhamnov and Zhitnik have yet to be named.

Detroit D Fischer to play in World Cup

PRAGUE, Czech Republic (Ticker) - Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jiri Fischer was added to the Czech Republic's roster for the upcoming World Cup of Hockey on Thursday, replacing Pavel Kubina of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Drafted 25th overall by Detroit in 1998, the 6-5 Fischer recorded career highs with four goals and 15 assists in 81 games last season. A native of Horovice, he has eight goals and 44 assists in 283 career contests.

Fischer, 24, will be representing his country in international competition for the first time. He spent two seasons with Kladno of the Czech junior league, collecting 13 goals and 31 assists in 77 games.

Originally named to the Czech Republic team, Kubina withdrew from the tournament Tuesday, citing the concussion he suffered in the Stanley Cup Finals as the reason.

The Czechs have the honor of playing in the opening game of the World Cup when the battle Finland on August 30 in Helsinki.

Strum zum Kapitän ernannt - Benda erhält keine Freigabe

[size=18px]Marco Sturm zum Kapitän ernannt[/size]

Jan Benda erhält keine Freigabe - Christoph Ullmann nachnominiert


München
- Eine Woche vor Beginn des Trainingslagers für den World Cup of Hockey wurde Marco Sturm von Interims-Bundestrainer Franz Reindl zum Kapitän der DEB-Auswahl ernannt.

Reindl: „Marco Sturm ist aufgrund seiner großen Erfahrung und seines internationalen Standings der richtige Mann, um die Mannschaft zu führen. Deshalb habe ich ihn zum Kapitän des WCH-Teams ernannt.“

Indess ereilte den Deutschen Eishockey-Bund die Nachricht, dass Jan Benda beim World Cup of Hockey nicht für Deutschland spielen wird. Der 32-jährige, der in der kommenden Saison für Khimik Voskresensk in der russischen Liga spielt, erhielt von seinem Klub keine Freigabe. Die Saison in Russland beginnt bereits am 01. September. Für Benda wurde nun Christoph Ullmann von den Adlern Mannheim nachnominiert. Ullmann bestritt bisher 14 Spiele für die Nationalmannschaft und schoss dabei zwei Tore.

DEB-Sportdirektor Franz Reindl:
„Dies ist für uns natürlich eine Hiobsbotschaft. Für Jan ist diese Entwicklung natürlich höchstbedauerlich, für die Mannschaft ist es ein herber Verlust. Alle meine Versuche, über den Verbands- und Klub-Präsidenten, die Freigabe zu bekommen, verliefen leider erfolglos.

Mit Christoph Ullmann haben wir nun einen jungen Mann an Bord, der nicht nur eine ausgezeichnete WM in Prag gespielt hat, sondern auch körperlich top-fit und vor allem hochmotiviert ist, wie auch Helmut de Raaf und Markus Kuhl mir bestätigt haben. Die Verantwortlichen der Adler Mannheim stehen dem Turnier und der Nominierung von Christoph sehr positiv gegenüber. Für ihn ist es natürlich eine riesengroße Chance.“

Pronger pulls out of World Cup

TSN.ca Staff
8/15/2004

Chris Pronger has withdrawn from the World Cup of Hockey, TSN has learned.

Sources told TSN that the big defenceman tweaked his previously injured right knee while training. Although the injury is not considered major, it is enough to force him to withdraw from the World Cup of Hockey, which starts August 31st for Team Canada.

Pronger apparently informed Hockey Canada of his decision to withdraw Sunday.

A replacement will be named from a group that is likely to include Jay Bouwmeester of the Florida Panthers, Brian McCabe of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Brad Stuart of the San Jose Sharks, amongst others.

Last season, Pronger scored 14 goals and added 40 assists in 80 games for the St. Louis Blues. It was a comeback year of sorts for the Dryden, Ontario native after appearing in only five regular season games the previous year recovering from wrist surgery.

For his career, Pronger has appeared in 722 regular season games, scoring 94 goals and 400 points while setting a mark of +125.

C Mikko Koivu added to Finland World Cup roster

HELSINKI, Finland (Ticker) - Finland will have a pair of
brothers on its 2004 World Cup of Hockey roster as center Mikko
Koivu was added to the team Wednesday, replacing Esa Pirnes of
the Los Angeles Kings.


Pirnes, who collected three goals and eight assists in 57 games
with the Kings last season, suffered an ankle injury in June and
is unable to participate in the World Cup, which begins later
this month.

Selected sixth overall by Minnesota in the 2001 draft, Koivu
will join Team Finland at the beginning of training camp on
August 20. He has spent the past four seasons with TPS Turku of
the Finnish Elite League, recording 17 goals and 41 assists in
151 games.

The 21-year-old Koivu joins Montreal Canadiens captain Saku
Koivu as the second brother tandem on Finland's roster. Jarkko
Ruutu of the Vancouver Canucks and Tuomo Ruutu of the Chicago
Blackhawks both were named to the team's original roster in May.

Finland will get the World Cup underway when it plays the Czech
Republic on August 30 at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki.

Muss jetzt an dieser Stelle mal was los werden:
Ich finds unter aller sau vom finnischen Verband/Trainer dass Petteri Nummelin nicht nominiert wurde. Der Mann hat über zweihundert Länderspiele, ist sich nie zu schade für sein Land zu spielen, egal wo, war bei zig WMs und auch olypische Spielen dabei und wenns dann zum World Cup geht und die großen NHL Stars kommen (wobei man nicht alle als Stars bezeichnen kann) dann gerät so ein Mann ganz schnell in vergessenheit. Für ihn tut es mir echt leid, da er wirklich ein spektakulärer Spieler ist. An ihm wüsste man doch was man hät.

Mir ist schon klar dass Nummelin ein Verteidiger (wenn man das bei seiner Spielweise überhaupt sagen kann) ist und deshalb nicht für Pirnes nachnominiert werden kann. Aber ich denke in der finnischen defense ind doch einige die Nummelin hinter sich lassen würde.
