Trivia

The tournament was a direct knock-out playoff.


Warm winter weather melted the ice in Chamonix, France and forced Ligue Internationale de Hockey sur Glace officials to move the tournament to Berlin, Germany, and the Sportpalast (which had artificial ice.) Additionally, the 4th place match was played in Vienna, Austria, making this the only world hockey championship tournament to take place in three different countries.

Berlin is the capital city and one of the sixteen states of the Federal Republic of Germany. ... Vienna (German: , see also other names) is the capital of Austria, and also one of the nine States of Austria. ...


The Canadian team was recognized as being so dominant, such that they did not participate in the play off tournament. Canada was put into the gold medal final game, and the tournament was played to determine an opponent.


The Canadian team: Howard Armstrong (captain), Timpson, Griffin, Radke, Park, Clayton, Adams, Grant, Hutchinson.


Canada played two "friendly" exhibition games to prepare for the final. They lost to Austria 1-0 on February 7 (in Vienna) and beat Czechoslovakia 14-1 on February 9 (in Berlin.) The loss to Austria was the first time any Canadian team had ever lost to a European team. Vienna (German: , see also other names) is the capital of Austria, and also one of the nine States of Austria. ...
