Ice hockey at the 1964 Olympics

 Austria was host nation. 8 games decided the groups. Canada fielded a purpose built national team for the first time and was coached by father David Bauer. Soviet Union won gold winning all 7 games. Sweden, Czechoslovakia and Canada went 5-2. Canada thought they had bronze thinking it was goals differential between the three teams, but it turns out it was goals differential for all seven games. Sweden got the silver and Czechoslovakia with the bronze. First time Canada failed to medal in hockey. Soon - the 1968 tournament in Grenoble, France.
