* combined with Olympic competition

# Canada and Czechoslovakia finished tied for third place. Under Olympic tie-breaking rules, which took goal differential for the entire tournament, Czechoslovakia were placed third and got bronze medals. But under World Championship rules, only goals from the medal round should have counted, which would have given Canada the bronze. There was a dispute at the time and Canada never got the medals. This was corrected in 2005 when a new set of medals were struck and presented to the Canadian team.
