Australia are the only team to have participated in all fifteen editions of the Champions Trophy, with the Netherlands a close second with fourteen participations.
A new joint record was set at the Champions Trophy 2007 in Quilmes with Nadine Ernsting-Krienke
(GER) and Magdalena Aicega
(ARG) each making their 10th Champions Trophy appearance. When Ernsting-Krienke played her first Champions Trophy in 1991, the youngest player in the current Champions Trophy, Georgina Oliva (ESP) was barely 14 years old.
Of the 108 players in this Champions Trophy, 56 have never played in a CT before. With three players new to hockey's top annual event, the Netherlands have fewest debutantes, while Japan in their first ever CT appearance obviously have most debutantes with all their eighteen players novices to the event.
With three goals in the first five matches of the tournament, Nadine Ernsting-Krienke has overtaken Jackie Pereira as the all-time topscorer for goals scored in Champions Trophy tournaments. Pereira had been the leading scorer with 21 goals, while Ernsting-Krienke is on 22 with one match to go in this event. Ernsting-Krienke however needed ten Champions Trophy editions to achieve this feat while Pereira competed in only five.
The oldest player competing in the this edition was Akemi Kato who turned 36 in December 2006. The youngest player is Georgina Oliva from Spain who will turn 17 next July and is thus not even half Kato's age. The average age of players in this tournament is 24 years and 5 months, with five players 18 years or younger at the start of the event, and eleven players 30 years or older. The oldest team is Japan at an average age of 26 years and 2 months, while Spain are the youngest team at just over 23 years and 4 months.
The top two teams at the end of the preliminary round matches play off in the final. The 3rd and 4th placed teams play for the bronze medal, while the 5th and 6th placed teams meet in the 5th place playoff.
If teams are equal on points at the end of the preliminary rounds, they will be ranked according the following criteria (in order):
If teams can't be separated after the criteria above are applied, then a penalty stroke competition will be played.
