Corey Perry became the 27th member of the Triple Gold Club on Sunday as Canada defended its title at the World Championship with a 2-0 win over Finland.

It was the Canadian captain's third attempt at joining the exclusive club, which recognizes those who win the Stanley Cup, Olympic gold, and a World Championship in their playing careers.

Perry won the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007, and has two Olympic gold medals from Vancouver and Sochi.

It should be noted Perry's accomplishments go well beyond Triple Gold status; he also won the Memorial Cup and gold as a junior.
