08:28 AM ET 05.04 | Team Canada's wait to name a captain paid off for Ryan Getzlaf. What he found out at 3 p.m. was good, too. There are 25 members of the most exclusive club in hockey and there's one with a chance to join them, with a list of credentials which would be beyond any of the others. That's Getzlaf. And that's what really floored him. He didn't have a clue he had come here with a chance to be the most exclusive member of the exclusive club [Stanley Cup, Olympic gold, World Championship gold]. ... [With another gold, Getzlaf would] be the only player in the club who has the Stanley Cup, the Olympic gold and ... World junior gold medal [and] U-18 gold medal. Nobody in hockey history has that complete collection.
