Footnotes

α During the final game of the tournament, Canada and the Soviet Union became engaged in a violent bench- clearing brawl while Canada was leading 4–2. Consequently, the game was declared null and void, and both teams were ejected from the tournament; while the Soviets were out of medal contention, Canada was playing for the gold medal and were guaranteed at least a bronze.[9][10] β Canada will host the tournament every 3 or 4 years. In 1990, Canada decided to switch years with Finland.
