In subsequent years, a rumor was spread that the UK team was entirely made up of Canadians, which is considered to be incorrect. Only two champions of this tournament were born in Canada , the rest were English or Scots by birth, who for one reason or another found themselves in Canada in childhood or adolescence, but returned to their homeland in a more adult age; some of the players did not have anything to do with Canada .

Regulations
A record number of teams played at the tournament - 15. Therefore, the tournament was held in three stages. At the first stage, the teams were divided into 4 groups, the two strongest were entering the next stage. At the second stage, 8 teams were divided into two groups, the two strongest each went to the final stage. Matches of the second stage among the teams that reached the final stage were taken into account.
Tournament Overview
The national team of Great Britain participated in the Games in 1924 and 1928, but by and large it was represented by Canadians - officers of the Canadian Forces and students who lived in the UK [1] . In 1936, the British decided to assemble a team of 13 players - of whom there were 12 natives of Great Britain and one native of Canada; nine players grew up in Canada, 11 performed in Canada [1] . The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, after finding out that the national teams of Great Britain and France assembled a squad of players who lived in Canada, demanded to remove the declared players and filed a protest [1] [2] . The IIHF unanimously decided to remove Alex Archer and James Foster , but Canada soon lifted its protest [3] . The situation was not pleased with the representatives of the US team, who accused the participants and organizers of violating the rules [3] , and the French, whose protest against Canada was not lifted [2] .
There were several sensations in the course of the tournament: in the first round, the US team unexpectedly lost to the Italian team, although it advanced to the next stage [1] . In the second stage, the UK team unexpectedly defeated the Canadian team and deprived it of its chances of winning the tournament ( Edgar Brenchley scored the winning goal). The national teams of Great Britain, USA, Canada and Czechoslovakia reached the final round: matches of the second stage were taken into account in the final [1] . In the final round, the British defeated the national team of Czechoslovakia and played a zero draw against the US national team, not opening an account after six periods, but securing themselves Olympic gold. The US team could claim gold under certain conditions, but lost the match against Canada and was content with bronze (Canada received silver medals).
Another important event was the participation of the German hockey player of Jewish origin Rudi Balla . Despite the policy of the Third Reich towards the Jews, the country's sports and political leadership made an exception for Balla, realizing that without him the German team would not be able to claim the Games medals (in the second stage Germany took 3rd place in group A) [3] .
