Medal Table
We present four tables, two of them (one long-term and one short-term) are based on the number of medals and next two tables (one long-term and one short-term) are based on the number of points.
On the photo (source and attribution: Bundesarchiv, Bild 102-05472 / CC-BY-SA) you can see game between Canada and Sweden on the II Olympic Winter Games (1928, St. Moritz, Switzerland). Result of this game was 11:0.
Medal Table
Till this day, we have seen 23 ice hockey tournaments played on the Olympic Games. The first tournament was played on the Games of the VII Olympiad (1920, Antwerp, Belgium). This was the only time when ice hockey was played as a part of the Summer Olympics Games. The first gold medal was won by Canada. In fact, all gold medals from the year 1920 to the year 1952 (including) were won by Canada with only one exception – in the year 1936, the gold medal was won by Great Britain.
The medal table (as of 2014, after Sochi Olympic Games) is
| Position | Country | Gold | Silver | Bronze |
| 1 | Canada | 9 | 4 | 2 |
| 2 | Russia / Soviet Union / CSI | 8 | 2 | 2 |
