The [[United States men's national ice hockey team|United States]] won its first Olympic gold medal and second World Championship. [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Canada]], represented for the second time by the [[Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen]], won the silver and its ninth consecutive Olympic ice hockey medal (a feat not matched until the [[Soviet Union national ice hockey team|Soviet Union]] won its ninth consecutive medal in [[1988 Winter Olympics|1988]]). Highest finishing European team Soviet Union won the bronze medal and its sixth European Championship. The tournament was held at the [[Blyth Arena]].
