Each player and coach Jimmy Cwaham received an individual gold medal with a two-inch stamp- ed figure of a hockey player on it.

The game, the last of the six- ieam round-robin final pool. was unexpectedly stiff for Mercurys. who had gone on the ice confid- ent of rolling the score into double figures again.

‘at the Swedes put on e gIllInt defensive display and their five- mcn-back tactics slowed down the‘ Canadian speedsters. The referees, handed out 10 penalties. six to‘ Canada, in the rough contest. i

The Czechs took the title in 1947 end last year nosed out Canada‘: Sudbury Wolves for top honors at Stockholm.

This year the Czechs were refus- ed permission to come here by the Communist-dominated Czech Gov- ernment. It is thzvught the Czech Government feared some of the team might skip and become "pol- itical refugees‘ following the ex- ample of several other iron-cur- teln aiihletes in international com- petitions.
