In total, the title clashes, including 22 Hockey Nations, a new record.
Since the GDR - actually qualifies as a Fifth -placed the last title fights for the A- Cup - opted not to participate and voluntary descent into the B group, was held in advance of the World Cup qualification for the free space between the losers of the last A-WC, Poland, and the runner-up of the last B- World Cup, West Germany instead. Noteworthy in this connection: Although the Poles to four minutes remaining 4-0 were in front in the second leg - which would have been enough after the 3:6 defeat in the first leg of participation for A-WC - they had this eventually accept the compensation and the West German selection to defer.
For its ninth consecutive year, the USSR was not to take the world title, it was the 11th World Championship gold in total. However, this time the subscription - world champion had to rely on the shooters help of the Swedes and the Americans, as he lost the direct comparison against the Czechoslovaks. This secured thereby at least their eleventh European champion. The team of the United States occupied the first A World Championship since its resurgence in sixth and last place, which meant the immediate return to the second division.
