Goaltenders:
Victor Stolichnuy - had a 96% overall saving percentage, faced a lot of shots. Team lost in the semis, as they couldn't score
Basil Catnip - despite the humorous surname, Basil's team, the Rockets, took second place, in a large part due to Basil's 92% overall saving percentage. If Basil could play with stability, he would rival Stolichnuy, as his talent surpasses Victor's, but he's still young.
Erema Aleksandrov - Taken as a sub-goaltender, because his team, the Torpedo, won Gold. His 90% average saving percentage is not the best, and considering his defensive support, it should be better.

Team Shofercia will be making their seventh World Cup of Hockey Appearance in Yesopalitha! The Team's Current record leaves much to be desired. The Shofercians failed to make the playoffs in the 17th World Cup, but rebounded during the Winter Olympic Games held in Liventia, where the Men's Ice Hockey Team went on to earn the Bronze Medal. The Shofercian Eagles played 45 total regular WCoH games, ending them with 28 wins, 12 losses and 5 ties. The Eagles scored 103 goals, and missed 67 goals. Will the 17th WCoH statistics hunt the Shofercians, or will they be able to coast through the regular games, using their Olympic Experience?
The Pessimists believe that the Shofercians will be unable to replicate their Olympic performance, whereas the Optimists believe that the Shofercian Eagles were simply amazing in the Olympics, and are bound to rock and roll the games in Yesopalitha. Who is right? Stay tuned - the first game is coming up!
