* Teams are listed by final ranking. W-L-T-PTS are calculated
from all games
played including preliminary, medal and consolation
rounds. Often teams
with superior W-L-T marks finish with inferior
rankings due to early
tournament losses that seed them in a lower bracket.

* -Canada was on it's way to perhaps a
Gold Medal, and guaranteed a medal
while their last game
involving
the Soviet Union was stopped due to a
bench-clearing brawl. Canada
was leading the contest at the time.
With the intense rivalry
between these two hockey nations, and with
nothing to lose, some have
said the Soviets started the brawl on purpose
to disqualify the Canadians.
Either way, both teams were
disqualified. As a result, Finland won their
first WJC title.
