¹The tie-breaking procedures for the Olympics were changed after the competition. By the previous rules (goal difference between teams involved in the medal round), Canada was the bronze medal winner, but just before medal ceremony this was changed, and Czechoslovakia won bronze by new rules (goal difference in all games of the Olympics). This tournament also served as the World Championships and the European Championships for 1964. In 2005, the International Ice Hockey Federation attempted to alter the results of World Championship, awarding Canadians a bronze medal. But then it changed it's mind, and in September of 2005 IIHF finally rejected Canada appeal to be awarded the 3rd place.[TSN.ca Winter Olympics IX]
