This was a historic tournament in a few respects. The Soviets were playing without goaltenderTretiakfor the first time since 1969. This was Canada's best finish since returning to the Championships in 1977, and after defeating the Soviet Union for the first time in the World Championships since 1961, they played for gold on the last day. Despite Canada's silver medal, the first round saw a professionally stocked Canada lose to the Americans for the first time. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of the tournament was Sweden's poor play. After finishing second in the1984 Canada Cupexpectations were high, but they had their worst finish since 1937, playing in the relegation pool for the first time.[1][2]It would also be East Germany's final appearance at the top level.

The tournament finished on a sour note when the US and Soviet Union faced off against each other for the bronze medal. Several fights broke out, resulting in suspensions of coachesViktor TikhonovandDave Peterson,as well as playersIrek Gimayev,Vyacheslav FetisovandTim Thomas.[1]Additionally refereeKjell Lindwas disciplined for failing to keep control of the game.
