That year the gold medalists were the Winnipeg Falcons, representing Canada. The silver went to the United States and Czechoslovakia took the bronze.
The United States was represented by 11 players who were members of three clubs – the St. Paul Athletic Club, the Pittsburgh Athletic Association, and the Boston Athletic Association. At least four members of the American team were born and raised in Canada – the brothers Joe and Larry McCormick, Frank Synott, and Herbert Drury.
