It's just always been a little gear grinder for me. I don't hear the players on the Penguins going around saying World Champions or Leicester City winning the EPL and shouting World Champs.That's what the World Cup is for and the Olympics/World Cup in hockey.

It's an American thing for sure as it's said in the NFL and NBA as well. It's not something that keeps me up at night. Just find it somewhat amusing anytime I watch a championship celebration in MLB/NFL/NBA.
