PrivacyThe 1984 Canada Cup Tournament
The 1984 Labatt Canada Cup was a professional international ice hockey tournament played during the first three weeks of September 1984. The best-of-three final took place between Canada and Sweden, with Canada winning a two game sweep. Canadian forward John Tonelli was named the tournament's most valuable player. The Canadian team was a disappointing 2–2–1 in the round-robin. In one semifinal, fourth place Canada faced first-place USSR, who were a perfect 5–0 in the round-robin defeated the USSR 2 to 1 in overtime. In the other semi-final, Sweden scored on its first four shots on goal and cruised to a stunning 9–2 victory over the United States. The Americans had beaten Sweden 7–1 in the round robin and had looked very impressive prior to collapsing in this game. Canada won Game 1 of the final 5–2. In Game 2, they built up a commanding 5–0 lead in the first period before Sweden mounted a comeback that fell just short. The final score was 6–5. |
