Ice hockey at the 1936 Winter Olympics

From Free net encyclopedia

In a shocking upset at the 1936 Winter Olympics, the perpetual powerhouse Canada did not win Gold. Instead, Great Britain won the men's ice hockey competition, although all but one player on this team were actually Canadian hockey players. Due to Olympic rules, if you can prove family descent from another country you can play for this country.

N.B. - After the semifinal round, officials announced that any games played between finalists in the semifinals would be counted as games in the finals. Thus, the 11 February games of Canada vs. Great Britain and the United States vs. Czechoslovakia were counted as games in the final round, hence their replication in both tables. [1]

Final Rankings

1. Great Britain
2. Canada
3. United States
4. Czechoslovakia
5. Germany
