Thanks Gurj for editing, much appreciated. Hope this
info is interesting reading for all the hockey folks here.
I realize it's mostly fluff stats but I thought it may be
fun to look over the past exhibition results of the first
World Cup. I am a huge hockey stats collecting fanatic,
especially of international hockey. And I enjoy sharing
the info with everybody here. If anyone needs more
regarding World Cup '96, please give me a shout. I
possess thousands of pages of stories, game summaries and stats covering Canada Cups, World
Championships and many other tournaments. Thanks
and enjoy!

what about the famous 7-1 between GER and CZE at Aug. 31 1996 in Garmisch/Germany? I think it was a WC game, wasn´t it? But for sure one of the highlights of German hockey ever....
