Ice Hockey at the 1932 Lake Placid Winter Games:

The Canadians were represented by a team mostly from the [Winnipeg Hockey Club] and called "The Winnipegs". But the Canadian Olympic Association was concerned that The Winnipegs did not have enough offensive firepower and added Wally Monson and Norm Malloy of the Senior A Selkirk Fisherman, and Junior A star Bert Duncanson. Because of the world-wide depression and the long travel distance to the United States in 1932, only four teams comprised the 1932 Olympic ice hockey field – Canada, the United States, Germany, and Poland. The four played a double round-robin tournament. For the first time in Olympic history, Canada failed to win a game, tying the United States, 2-2, in the final game of the Olympic tournament. The other time the two teams met, Canada won, but only by 2-1. There were two rinks used in Lake Placid, one outdoors inside the speed skating oval, and for the first time at the Olympics, some ice hockey games were played indoors.
