Outside of your hardcore hockey fans and Brett Hull die-hards, almost nobody knew about the World Cup of Hockey 20 years ago. The other problem? It was one of the most intriguing international tournaments outside the 1980 or 2010 Olympics.
The only reason St. Louis Blues fans would have known about it at the time was because Hull was taking part. Technically, Wayne Gretzky was still a member of the team when the tournament took place as well.
Outside of that, there was little known about the tournament building up to it and during it.
