In the second round, the top two teams in each group advanced to the medal round (for positions 1 through 6) with the remaining four teams advancing to the consolation round for places 7 through 10. Czechoslovakia overcame tragedy to win their second world championship and ninth European Championship. In November 1948 six Czechoslovak players (Ladislav Troják, Karel Stibor, Zdeněk Jarkovský, Vilibald Šťovík, Miloslav Pokorný and defenseman Zdeněk Švarc) were lost when their plane went missing crossing the English Channel. Despite the key losses to their roster, they defeated the Sudbury Wolves, Canada's representative, three to two. It was only the third defeat for the Canadians at a World Championship. The Americans were able to top the Czechoslovaks in the final round, which earned them a bronze medal, and kept the host Swedes off the podium.http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1949.htm Summary 2012-10-25 2013-10-31 https://web.archive.org/web/20131031002836/http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1949.htm dead Story of the plane crash (in french) World Ice Hockey Championship (in Stockholm, Sweden) First round Group A 12 February 1949 Stockholm 30px Canada – 30px Denmark 47:0 (13:0,16:0,18:0) 13 February 1949 Stockholm 30px Canada – 30px Austria 7:0 (0:0,3:0,4:0) 14 February 1949 Stockholm 30px Austria – 30px Denmark 25:1 (8:0,6:0,11:1) Standings Pos.
