— Dave Sandford (@Dave_Sandford) July 26, 2014 Jeff Carter’s trophy collection might be the most impressive in sports
This is Jeff Carter’s career to date. He is 29 years old.
The list:
- 2003 World Under-18 Hockey Championship with Canada (second from right)
- 2005 World Junior Hockey Championship with Canada (far left)
- 2005 AHL Calder Cup with Philadelphia Phantoms (second from left)
- 2012 Stanley Cup with Los Angeles Kings (center)
- 2014 Olympic Gold with Canada (far right)
Not included are his 2014 Stanley Cup ring, which he’s yet to receive, and his silver medal from the 2004 World Junior Hockey Championships. His name will be etched on the Cup again, too, of course.
As impressive as Carter's collection is, though, Kings teammate and good friend Mike Richards can give him a run for his money. Richards has won all of the above accolades aside from the U18 gold, but can add the 2003 Memorial Cup to his trophy case. Other players with similarly impressive résumés include, well ... any member of the Triple Gold Club.
