This page exists because I couldn't find it anywhere else on the Web one day. Annoying as all hell. So, in hopes some future traveler may be helped, I pieced it together. Less than a year later, up pops a set of .pdf files on the IIHF's Archive page. What the heck -- we match, so I'll keep mine up. Keep them honest and stuff. Besides, I've already got my own bookmarked, right? Whatever. Can't hurt to have an second page out there. Hopefully one of us makes every search engine.
And yes, it's U.S.-centric. Happens to be where I live. Don't make me start singing.
Sources: Total Hockey, first edition, through 1998 (if you don't have, get); the International Ice Hockey Federation's site for subsequent championships.
A May 2004 discovery: Hockey Almanac's International Hockey section, which includes full standings for every tournament. Darn impressive.
* indicates championship based on Olympic results. "Yth (Xth B)" indicates finished Xth in Pool B of the World Championships, thus Yth overall.
