During the 1983 hockey world championships in Munich (Germany) Czech emigrants are showing a banner protesting against the Soviet occupation of their country since the suppression of the Prague Spring.

Promotion and relegation was effective for 1985 as the IIHF did not run a championship in Olympic years at this time. Nations that did not participate in the Sarejevo Olympics were invited to compete in the Thayer Tutt Trophy.
