USA Hockey doesn't focus much on the IIHF. They are lucky to even have anyone skate for them.
I am sure the national soccer team refers to the team that participates in the World Cup and not the Juniors.

Well, we and Canada do.

This year Canada won the Gold and last year the USA won the Gold.

World Juniors most certainly is a National Team.

7. Financial Products

did I miss any?
Yes, Justin Bieber is an American! Whooooppee!
Evangelism is as American as apple pie. Goes hand-in-hand with superstitions, something America is good at. America will always be number one in the high percentage of christian loonies.
To the list should be added America's ability to bomb any nation back to the stone age.
America will lead the world in prison population.

I asked whether the national team ever won a title. You asked in where?
And I answered with "Like a world cup". I did not say there is a tournament that is called "Ice Hockey World Cup". There is such thing Ice Hockey World Championship. You are being pretty anal here.

The IIHF is not a league that USA Hockey fields a team in. The American IIHF team is not sanctioned by USA Hockey.

United States men's national ice hockey team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You mean there was not an american hockey team that played a match against the german icehockey team last year in Germany in front of 77.000 fans at the World Championships?
