1982 Ice Hockey World Championships

1982 edition of the World Ice Hockey Championships 1982 Finland 15–29 April 8 2 2 ih USSR 18 Czechoslovakia Canada Sweden 34 249 193224 CAN Wayne Gretzky 14 points 1981 1983 The 1982 Ice Hockey World Championships took place in Finland from the 15 April to the 29 April. The games were played in Helsinki and Tampere with eight teams playing a single round-robin, followed by the top four teams playing each other once more. This was the 48th World Championships, and also the 59th European Championships of ice hockey. The Soviet Union became World Champions for the 18th time, and also won their 21st European Championship. The tournament is notable since Canada, reinforced by Wayne Gretzky after the Edmonton Oilers were shockingly knocked out of the Stanley Cup playoffs by Los Angeles, would have won the silver medal if the Soviet team had beaten Czechoslovakia in the final game. However, the teams played to a scoreless tie, knocking the Canadians down to the bronze; this led to speculation that the Soviets and Czechs had played to a draw on purpose.http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1982.htm Summary 2012-10-25 2014-12-07 https://web.archive.org/web/20141207233615/http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1982.htm dead Duplacey page 507 Gretzky did score more points than any other player in the tournament (14), in his only appearance at the World Championships, but the Soviet Union's Viktor Shalimov was selected as "Best Forward". Other notable events include the Czechs' loss to West Germany for the first time in forty-five years, since being beaten in triple overtime to then-Nazi Germany in 1937. The Italians (with a squad boasting seventeen Italian Canadians), beat the Americans and became the first promoted team to survive relegation since the tournament expanded to eight teams in 1959. The tourney was a disaster for the Americans; just two years after winning gold at the 1980 Winter Olympics, they lost every game but one, a tie with West Germany on the final day. The U.S. was thus relegated to Group B for 1983 (they won that tourney and were promoted in 1984 to the top group, where they have been ever since). Organization of the tournament was overseen by Kalervo Kummola, the chief executive officer of SM-liiga.https://tampere.chamber.fi/fi-fi/article/tiedote/vuoden-2017-yritysjohtaja-on-harri-sjoholm-elinkeinovaikuttaja-kalervo-kummola/23/ Vuoden 2017 Yritysjohtaja on Harri Sjoholm Elinkeinovaikuttaja Kalervo Kummola Koski Juha 27 November 2017 Tampere Chamber of Commerce fi 12 January 2023 12 January 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20230112230406/https://tampere.chamber.fi/fi-fi/article/tiedote/vuoden-2017-yritysjohtaja-on-harri-sjoholm-elinkeinovaikuttaja-kalervo-kummola/23/ dead World Championship Group A (Finland) First round main WDL QR 2 URS URS TCH TCH SWE SWE CAN CAN FIN FIN FRG FRG ITA ITA USA USA 7 0 0 48 16 4 1 2 33 14 3 3 1 24 22 3 2 2 32 22 3 1 3 21 31 2 1 4 19 30 1 1 5 20 44 0 1 6 21 39 #ccffcc A A A A red1 R complete The United States was relegated to Group B. #eeeeee 15 April CAN 9–2 FIN #eeeeee 15 April FRG 4–2 TCH #eeeeee 15 April URS 9–2 ITA #eeeeee 15 April SWE 4–2 USA #eeeeee 16 April TCH 6–2 CAN #eeeeee 16 April ITA 7–5 USA #eeeeee 16 April FIN 4–3 FRG #eeeeee 16 April URS 7–3 SWE #eeeeee 18 April CAN 3–3 SWE #eeeeee 18 April FRG 5–2 ITA #eeeeee 18 April URS 5–3 TCH #eeeeee 18 April FIN 4–2 USA #eeeeee 19 April CAN 7–1 FRG #eeeeee 19 April SWE 5–3 ITA #eeeeee 19 April TCH 6–0 USA #eeeeee 19 April URS 8–1 FIN #eeeeee 21 April CAN 3–3 ITA #eeeeee 21 April SWE 3–1 FRG #eeeeee 21 April URS 8–4 USA #eeeeee 21 April TCH 3–0 FIN #eeeeee 22 April CAN 5–3 USA #eeeeee 22 April URS 7–0 FRG #eeeeee 22 April FIN 7–3 ITA #eeeeee 22 April TCH 3–3 SWE #eeeeee 24 April URS 4–3 CAN #eeeeee 24 April TCH 10–0 ITA #eeeeee 24 April FIN 3–3 SWE #eeeeee 24 April FRG 5–5 USA Final round main WDL 2 URS URS TCH TCH CAN CAN SWE SWE 9 1 0 58 20 5 2 3 38 20 5 2 3 46 30 3 3 4 26 35 gold 1ST silver 2ND #cc9966 3RD complete #eeeeee 25 April URS 6–4 CAN #eeeeee 25 April TCH 3–2 SWE #eeeeee 27 April CAN 4–2 TCH #eeeeee 27 April URS 4–0 SWE #eeeeee 29 April CAN 6–0 SWE #eeeeee 29 April URS 0–0 TCH World Championship Group B (Austria) Played in Klagenfurt, Austria from March 18–27. Like the finals of Group A, the Group B tournament also ended in controversy. After the Chinese had defeated the Dutch (relegating them), China would also avoid relegation -- unless Romania and Switzerland played to a tie. They did just that (3-3) on March 27, in a match derided as a "scandalous parody" by some observers; Romania thus finished with three head-to-head points, Switzerland two, and China one, relegating the Chinese. main WDL QR 2 9 GDR GDR AUT AUT POL POL NOR NOR ROU ROU 1965 SUI SUI CHN CHN NED NED 6 1 0 48 25 4 1 2 33 26 4 1 2 42 23 3 0 4 24 43 2 1 4 27 30 1 3 3 20 27 2 1 4 32 47 2 0 5 22 27 #ccffcc A red1 R R complete East Germany was promoted to Group A, and both China and the Netherlands were relegated. #eeeeee 18 March GDR 10–1 NOR #eeeeee 18 March SUI 3–2 POL #eeeeee 18 March ROU 1965 5–2 NED #eeeeee 18 March AUT 5–2 CHN #eeeeee 19 March GDR 13–7 CHN #eeeeee 19 March AUT 7–1 ROU 1965 #eeeeee 20 March SUI 4–5 NOR #eeeeee 20 March POL 3–2 NED #eeeeee 21 March CHN 4–2 NOR #eeeeee 21 March SUI 2–4 GDR #eeeeee 21 March POL 5–1 ROU 1965 #eeeeee 21 March AUT 1–4 NED #eeeeee 22 March ROU 1965 9–3 CHN #eeeeee 22 March AUT 4–7 GDR #eeeeee 23 March NED 6–1 SUI #eeeeee 23 March NOR 3–12 POL #eeeeee 24 March SUI 4–4 CHN #eeeeee 24 March GDR 3–1 NED #eeeeee 24 March NOR 3–2 ROU 1965 #eeeeee 24 March AUT 6–5 POL #eeeeee 26 March GDR 7–6 ROU 1965 #eeeeee 26 March POL 11–4 CHN #eeeeee 26 March NED 4–6 NOR #eeeeee 26 March AUT 3–3 SUI #eeeeee 27 March CHN 8–3 NED #eeeeee 27 March SUI 3–3 ROU 1965 #eeeeee 27 March GDR 4–4 POL #eeeeee 27 March AUT 7–4 NOR World Championship Group C (Spain) Played in Jaca March 19–28. main WDL Q 2 17 JPN JPN YUG YUG DEN DEN FRA FRA HUN HUN 1957 BUL BUL 1971 ESP ESP KOR KOR 7 0 0 70 14 5 0 2 59 22 4 1 2 35 20 4 0 3 47 30 4 0 3 43 29 2 1 4 29 30 1 0 6 26 50 0 0 7 13 127 #ccffcc A A complete Both Japan and Yugoslavia were promoted to Group B. #eeeeee 19 March JPN 7–5 YUG #eeeeee 19 March FRA 4–2 BUL 1971 #eeeeee 19 March DEN 2–1 HUN 1957 #eeeeee 19 March ESP 15–3 KOR #eeeeee 20 March FRA 7–3 HUN 1957 #eeeeee 20 March ESP 0–6 YUG #eeeeee 21 March BUL 1971 14–1 KOR #eeeeee 21 March DEN 4–5 JPN #eeeeee 22 March HUN 1957 5–4 YUG #eeeeee 22 March FRA 20–4 KOR #eeeeee 22 March BUL 1971 2–2 DEN #eeeeee 22 March ESP 2–11 JPN #eeeeee 23 March YUG 21–2 KOR #eeeeee 23 March ESP 1–8 HUN 1957 #eeeeee 24 March JPN 6–0 BUL 1971 #eeeeee 24 March DEN 4–1 FRA #eeeeee 25 March YUG 7–2 DEN #eeeeee 25 March HUN 1957 18–2 KOR #eeeeee 25 March JPN 6–2 FRA #eeeeee 25 March ESP 3–7 BUL 1971 #eeeeee 27 March ESP 3–7 DEN #eeeeee 27 March YUG 9–5 FRA #eeeeee 27 March HUN 1957 7–3 BUL #eeeeee 27 March JPN 25–0 KOR #eeeeee 28 March DEN 14–1 KOR #eeeeee 28 March JPN 10–1 HUN 1957 #eeeeee 28 March YUG 7–1 BUL 1971 #eeeeee 28 March ESP 2–8 FRA Ranking ih 1982 IIHF World Championship winners URS 18th Tournament Awards Best players selected by the directorate: Best Goaltender: CSK Jiří Králík Best Defenceman: URS Viacheslav Fetisov Best Forward: URS Viktor Shalimov Media All-Star Team: Goaltender: CSK Jiří Králík Defence: URS Viacheslav Fetisov, URS Alexei Kasatonov Forwards: CAN Bill Barber, CAN Wayne Gretzky, URS Sergei Makarov Final standings The final standings of the tournament according to IIHF: URS CSK CAN4 SWE5 FIN6 FRG7 ITA8 USA European championships final standings The final standings of the European championships according to IIHF: URS SWE CSK4 FIN5 FRG6 ITA Scoring leaders List shows the top skaters sorted by points, then goals.
