Jágr finally receives 2011 WC Best Forward trophy

29 Oct 2011 | Petr Polák

IIHF Director Gion Veraguth handed over the award for the Best Forward of the 2011 World Championships on Wednesday.

No-one of three players chosen by the directorate of the 2011 IIHF World Championship as the best players of the event was awarded with his trophy directly in Bratislava where the WC was held.

The best goaltender of the event Viktor Fasth(SWE) received his award in August. The best forward Jaromír Jágr from Team Czech republic received his trophy on Wednesday before the Flyers' game in Montréal.

"They should have just given me the award before the World Championship, it would have saved the IIHF a trip," the ever-joyful Jágr told after the presentation of the award to IIHF.com. The last un-awarded player remains Alex Pietrangelo (CAN) who was named as the best defender of the 2011 WC.
