Lord Kitchener's Own

Question: Does Fleury get a medal if he doesn't play? I think the rules on that vary from sport to sport, but I can't remember what they are for hockey. Do you know, can he get a medal without playing, and if the answer is no, how long would he have to play to be eligible?

Chris

I think he does. See wikipedia entry regarding Khabibulin below:

"Khabibulin appeared in the 1992 Winter Olympics with the CIS as the third goaltender. Controversy arose after the CIS captured the gold medal when legendary Russian coach Viktor Tikhonov kept a medal for himself (coaches and management are not awarded medals in Olympic hockey) instead of allowing Khabibulin to have one, as Khabibulin had not played a game in the tournament."
