Finland's national men’s hockey team won its first World Championship with the 'golden generation,' headed by Saku Koivu centreing Jere Lehtinen and Ville Peltonen — dubbed the "Huey, Dewey, and Louie" line — in 1995. The team did not win another title on the international stage until 2011.
Despite the dearth of golds, Finland had an impressive medal haul. The country possessed nine other World Championship medals besides that 1995 gold: six silver and three bronze. Even more impressive is that in the last seven Winter Olympic Games (since 1994) the Finnish team has only been off the podium once, in 2002, and has five bronze and one silver in the best-on-best spectacle during this time.
