* -Professionals were still not allowed to compete in Olympic Games.

  -1980 featured the "Miracle on Ice". The USA team was a collection of unknown
   college players put together by coach Herb Brooks.
   They team played 59 games together before the Olympics, going 42-14-3, which
   included a 10-3 loss to the Soviet Union just 3 days before the tournament.

   The Soviets were a team that was held together year-round, featuring the best
   players in the Soviet Union. They would regularly play NHL clubs and NHL All-Star
   teams to a standstill.
   The Soviet squad had lost the 1972 Summit Series versus Canada's best by a close
   3-4-1 margin. They routinely beat the NHL's weaker teams, and only the stronger
   NHL clubs at the time like the Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers would
   create exciting games.

   The USA-Soviet Union game was tied 2-2 after the first period. Soviet coach
   Viktor Tikhonov replced goalie Vladislav tretiak with Vladimir Myshkin to start
   the 2nd period. The strategy seemed to be working as the Soviets led 3-2 after
   40 minutes and outshooting the USA 30-10.
   The Americans tied the game and with 10 minutes to go captain Mark Eruzione
   scored for a 4-3 lead. Goalie Jim Craig stopped everything the rest of the way
   for one of the biggest upsets in sports history.

   The USA still had to win their final game versus Finland for the Gold Medal, which
   they did 2 days later with a 4-2 win.

* -12 years had passed between games due to the Second World War.

  -Canada represented by the RCAF Flyers of Ottawa, a team made up
   of servicemen in the Royal Canadian Air Force.

  -As in the World Championships at the time, the USA was battling in-fighting
   between USA hockey associations. 2 USA teams were sent, one by AHAUS which
   was supported by the IIHF, the other by the AAU.
   During the Opening Ceremonies both team appeared on the ice, nearly causing
   a riot, as police were needed to restore order.
   The AAU team finally decide to leave, but the IIHF 'outlawed' the US entry
   and their final standings did not count.

  -Warm weather also caused severe problems with the ice, as some games
   were re-scheduled to 7 a.m.

  -Many games featured double-digit scores, showing the huge difference in strenth
   between teams. Czech forward Vladimir Zabrodsky alone scored 27 goals.
