In the ice hockey competition, there are nine teams participating in the ice hockey competition, and the United States has sent two teams: one belongs to the US Olympic Committee and the other belongs to the American Amateur Ice Hockey Federation, both of which claim to represent the American team. After a long study, the organizing Committee finally decided that the team sent by the US Olympic Committee would attend the opening ceremony, but not participate in the competition. The team sent by the American Ice Federation will participate in the competition, but regardless of the ranking, it belongs to the performance nature. In ice hockey, Canada finally won the championship with a net victory over Czechoslovakia.
