Encyclopedia > Ice hockey at the 1936 Winter Olympics

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. The 1936 Winter Olympics, officially known as the IV Olympic Winter Games, were held in 1936 in the villages of Garmisch and Partenkirchen in Bavaria, Germany. ...
