There seems to be a fair bit of edit-warring about whether Frank Fredrickson, Haldor Halderson, Dunc Munro, Hooley Smith and Dave Trottier should be included in the Triple Gold Club and therefore in this article. The debate could use a resolution, but I'm not entirely sure how to stop it, aside from asking the IIHF about it straight up. Is that too far to go? Is there someting I'm missing here? I feel a discussion is in order. 24.87.39.23 (talk) 21:09, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's been a long and tedious discussion on the IPs user page. Nobody is saying those five shouldn't be mentioned. In fact, the version we keep reverting to includes them. He insists on speaking in absolutes, so full-out calling them Triple Gold Club members despite a lack of sources. He's also been making a few POVish edits here and there (ie. Saying "three decades" which sounds more impressive than 6 of 7 tournaments or saying that all of Canada's top players during the 70s were in the NHL). -- Scorpion042223:01, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think, that those five could be introduced in similar table as the regular TGC members, but, with all respect, their membership isn´t the same as the contemporary TGC´s. NHL in their times = just six teams and only two series to win SC, Olympic games announced as World Championship (no need to win two different tournaments)... I think this is not the same TGC. Let´s keep it separated, like Ottawa Senators then and now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.177.130.40 (talk) 16:58, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've been discussing it with others and we'd prefer to keep them as text. Putting them in a table calls more attention to it and gives it undue weight. It's the same reason why the list of potential members is here on the talk page and not in the article. It's interesting, but in the end a very minor part of the topic. -- Scorpion042200:04, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the debate will inevitably end when the lone person advocating such undue coverage is inevitably blocked long term. Their attitude seems to be that they will war as long as it takes to get what they want, and that won't fly here. And I agree with scorpion0422. I say no to any sort of table, until and unless that person can show a reliable source that states these five are members of the club. Resolute15:24, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Steve Yzerman was general manager for Canadian World Championship in 2007 (as well as two other years) when Canada won gold. He was also general manager of two Olympic Gold winning teams in 2010 and 2014. He also works as general manager of Tampa Bay Lightning, playing in conference finals just now. Pointed out by Finnish journalist based in Vancouver. [1]— Preceding unsigned comment added by BleuDXXXIV (talk • contribs)
Indeed. But also of relevance, the "Triple Gold club" is a device of the IIHF. Should Tampa Bay win the Cup, Yzerman should not be added to this article unless he is specifically noted as becoming part of said club. Resolute13:43, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think this one is interesting to be mentioned. These players had advanced to the finals of the third title but lost after winning two of the needed titles.
Of the players that ultimately managed to join the Triple Gold Club, two were previously in this category: Viacheslav Fetisov (lost in the 1995 Stanley Cup Finals with Detroit) and Chris Pronger (lost in the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals with Edmonton).

Since we apparently can't use the old table any more, here we go. I, the as yet unnamed user, am hereby giving my permission to anyone to update this table as needed. It is strictly for the purposes of upkeep in the article and anyone can alter it as needed. -- ~2026-91636-2 (talk) 06:46, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
