* Canada never trailed in the tournament and allowed a total of three goals in six games, the fewest by any gold-medal winner in the modern era (since 1956, minimum: 5 GP). The Soviet Union previously held the record, allowing five goals in seven contests during the 1984 Olympic Winter Games.

* Canada (6-0-0) became the first team to go undefeated in the men’s Olympic hockey tournament since the Soviet Union in 1984 (7-0-0).

* Canada now has 15 medals in men’s Olympic hockey (9 G, 4 S, 2 B), three more than the next-closest nation (USSR/Russia: 8 G, 2 S, 2 B).
