The oldest hockey player of the World Cup will be the Slovak Zdeno Hara, representing the European team. He is in his 40s. There are two more representatives of this team in the top five of the oldest hockey players - 38-year-old Swiss Martin Streit and 37-year-old Slovak Marjan Gossa.
In addition, two Russians are represented in the top five of the oldest. The central striker is now 38 years old, the defender Andrei Markov is 37 years old.
The statistics of the tournament's youngest hockey players is remarkable in that only three people in the top five represent the team that, by its name, is supposed to dominate this list - the team of young stars of North America.
This, of course, is about the top three young players in the last two drafts of the National hockey league Auston Matthews, Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel.
However, the youngest hockey player of the World Cup will be Finnish national team player Patrik Laine, who sparkled so brightly last season in the national championship and in the Finnish national teams at the junior, youth and even adult levels that from the middle of the second round in the prospects rating he rose almost to the highest top and was selected second in the draft.
His national team and line partner Sebastian Aho, also selected at the beginning of the first round of the NHL Summer Draft, closes the top three of the youngest hockey players in the World Cup, but he has already turned 19 years old.
If we talk about the average age, then, of course, the 21.74 years of the North American team stand out against the background of other teams.
It is not surprising, given the above data, that the youngest among the rest is Finland (25.91 years), and the oldest is Europe (29.78).
The national team of Russia is the third team of the Cup in terms of average age, which is 26.91 years for Znarka's wards.
The main favorites of the tournament - the teams of Canada and the United States - are the third and second most experienced teams in the competition. The average age of the "maple leaves" is 28.70 years, and the "stars and stripes" have crossed the 29-year mark - 29.04 years.
Dimensions
The tallest hockey player of the competition will, of course, be the giant Zdeno Hara, whose height is 205 cm. Among field players, only Czech defender Andrei Shustr can boast of two meters in height.
But there are two giant goalkeepers. Ben Bishop of the US team is 201 cm, and Finn Mikko Koskinen of SKA is 1 cm shorter.
Times when he shone in the NHL Mighty Mouse Theo Fleury seems to be gone. Now the smallest hockey player of the World Cup is 5 cm taller - in Norwegian Mats Zuccarello, who plays for the European team, 171 cm.
174 cm is the height of Canadian Johnny Gaudreau from the North American team, and his older compatriot Brad Marchand, representing Canada, is 175 cm. Hockey players under 180 cm are already going further.
But the statistics on the average growth of teams is extremely interesting. No team here stands out at all! The “longest” team of the tournament is Canada, whose average height is exactly 187 cm. Well, the shortest, despite the presence of Jara, the European team is an average of 185.4 cm.
According to this indicator, it is the second from the end - the average height of our hockey players is 185.61 cm. The indicators of all other teams exceed the domestic team by at least 0.7 cm on average.
Slightly higher spread between teams by weight. The “heaviest” team of the tournament Canada (93.96 kg) is separated from the “lightest” Sweden (89.96 kg) by 4 kg. Here, the Russian team with its 91 kg average is exactly in the middle of the list.
Despite being a grenadier, Hara is only the second-heaviest player in the tournament (113 kg), behind Team USA's 118 kg Dustin Boughlin. In third place is the Russian, whose weight is 108 kg.
The situation is even more interesting for the lightest hockey players, where Zuccarello is not even in the top five. The Norwegian weighs as much as 81 kg, while Gaudreau's weight is 10 kg less.
The second lightest in the tournament is Russian Artemy Panarin, under which the scales show 77 kg.
Representation
The United States will have the largest representation at the World Cup, from which 35 hockey players will perform at the tournament: 23 will represent the national team, 12 will go on the ice as part of the young stars team. Canada will have one less.
Russia, Sweden, Finland and the Czech Republic will put up 23 players each, since for no one but their own national teams, players from these countries will not play in Toronto.
As for the European team, it consists of six Slovaks and Germans, four Swiss, three Danes, one Slovene, a Frenchman, a Norwegian and an Austrian.
Experience
Of course, the youngest North American stars turned out to be the “greenest” team of the tournament, but in total 23 hockey players have already managed to play 3449 NHL games.
And this despite the fact that Matthews was only drafted last summer and has not yet made his debut for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The most experienced team of the tournament is the Canadian team, with as many as 14,321 games in the world's strongest league.
In second place with 12,707 matches are the Americans, and the third in terms of experience is the European team, whose hockey players have played 12,008 meetings in the NHL.
Moreover, it is the European team that is the most experienced in terms of participation in the world championships - 758 games for 23 people. The second here is expectedly Russia, whose hockey players held 592 meetings at the World Cup.
At the same time, in terms of NHL experience, the Russian team, apart from young stars, surpasses only Finland, where Laine and Aho have not yet been in the NHL. On account of the Finns in total there are no 6000 games in the NHL, the Russians have 7108 games.
