The Olympic ice hockey tournament of the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck , Austria , is also the 31st ice hockey world championship and 42nd ice hockey European championship . The games took place from January 27th to February 9th. 16 teams took part in this tournament.
Eligible to participate were the seven teams in the A group of the 1963 Ice Hockey World Championship (the two German teams had to play again who would represent the divided Germany at the Olympics, with the Federal Republic being able to prevail against the GDR ) and the first four teams in the B group as well as Austria as host. The remaining four places should be played in four further qualifying duels.
The tournament started with a round of elimination, with the winners of this round playing for places 1 to 8 (called A-group), the losers for places 9-16 (called B-group). The pairings were compiled on the basis of a seeding list, which was largely based on the placements of the previous year's World Cup .
For the second time, the Olympic champion was the USSR , which won the tournament by superiority. Canada went without an Olympic medal for the first time, and defending champions USA for the first time since 1948.
preview
In its edition of January 29, 1964, »Sport-Zürich« assumed that the Soviet Union, the ČSR and Sweden were the favorites in this order, that Canada should also be taken into account, and that the other nations were categorized as "under further games" and they could never intervene in the battle for the top four places. The question was also raised whether whoever beats the Soviet Union could become the Olympic champion. They would have prepared better than ever before and over the turn of the year - like the Swedes and the ČSR - undertook an extended series of games to Canada and North America to measure ice hockey overseas. Only recently Canada would have been clearly defeated in Moscow.
According to the achievements shown by Canada so far, it seems impossible that the attempt to finally send a selection and not a reinforced club team as country representatives could lead to a good end. Coach Father David Bauer has made every effort, and his student team has been in permanent training since mid-September, but most of the people are young and mostly inexperienced.
Overall, it will be decisive that no one should have a weak day, no one should show the slightest nakedness.
Regarding the possibility that there will be equality of points, which was last the case at the World Championships in 1961 and 1963, the rules have been made more precise. Accordingly, if there is a tie, a playoff with extra time must be played - and if this tie-off would end in a draw, the goal difference would be decisive, and here no longer (as before) with the games under the top five, but only under the top four.
The point of criticism was the exaggerated requirements due to the dense tournament program, which had little in common with the instructions on amateur traits recalled by IOC President Avery Brundage, and especially the smaller nations would be here against the others, which have practically not done anything else since October to play ice hockey, clearly at a disadvantage.

European qualifications
In addition to the internal German and the Far Eastern qualification, three further qualification encounters were planned among European nations. While Great Britain did not play against Italy for financial reasons and Hungary also benefited from France's surrender, it is unclear whether the games between Yugoslavia and Denmark took place or whether Denmark also waived. While Stephan Müller assumes that Yugoslavia also qualified for the Winter Games without a fight, the "Official Report" reports that there were games between Yugoslavia and Denmark in which the Yugoslavs prevailed. However, no game results are given there either.

1960 Olympic Games: United States ; World Champion 1963: Soviet Union
The placement was based on the Olympic rules, according to which all goals scored in the tournament are included in the evaluation. According to the (World Championship) rules of the IIHF , according to which only the goals of the teams with the same points counted, Canada would have won bronze. A separate award of World Cup and Olympic medals was rejected by the IIHF.
