Men's competition

The format was changed from the version used in the 1998 and 2002 tournaments.This format is used in 1992 and 1994, the number of teams was reduced from 14 to 12 and the preliminary and final group stages were combined to form two six-team groups with the top four from each group advancing to the quarter-finals.

These changes had the following effects:

• They increased the number of group games played by the "Super Six", who previously automatically qualified for the final group stage, from three to five.
• They ensured that all teams in the tournament were treated more or less equally, and ensured that NHL players could play the entire tournament whether or not they were part of the "Super Six" group of teams.
• They ensured that only four teams from each group would advance to the knock-out stage. This would give the games more meaning.

Awards

The tournament all-star team was voted on by the international media at the conclusion of the event. The following players were named:

Player	Position	Team
Antero Niittymäki	G	Finland
Nicklas Lidström	D	Sweden
Kimmo Timonen	D	Finland
Teemu Selänne	F	Finland
Saku Koivu	F	Finland
Alexander Ovechkin	F	Russia

Additionally, Antero Niittymäki was named the most valuable player [1] and the best goaltender of the tournament. Teemu Selänne was named the best forward and Nicklas Lidström was awarded as the best defenceman of the tournament.

Qualification

Twelve places were allotted for the men's ice hockey tournament. The first eight were awarded to the top eight teams in the International Ice Hockey Federation ranking following the 2004 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships. Those teams were:

1.  Canada
2.  Sweden
3.  Slovakia
4.  Czech Republic
5.  Finland
6.  United States
7.  Russia
8.  Germany

The teams that automatically qualified include the same "Super Six" teams that were automatically qualified for the final group stage in the two previous tournaments, plus Slovakia and Germany which (IIHF rankings notwithstanding) are generally regarded by fans as being the seventh and eighth best teams. The ninth place was given to the host nation, Italy. The final three places were allotted through qualification tournaments in which Switzerland, Kazakhstan and Latvia won places.

Trivia

In a celebration of the gold in Stockholm on 27 February, the Swedish team was seen in front of ads for sponsors of the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation, not the ones of the Swedish Olympic Committee. This could have led to Sweden's disqualification, but the Finnish opponents in the final game chose not to report the incident to the IOC [2].

Women's competition

The loss of the United States to Sweden in Semifinal 1 was one of the most important events in the history of international women's ice hockey. It was the first time that either the US or Canada had lost in an international competition (other than to each other).
