IIHF World Championship medalists
Regarding the medal tables, the IIHF considers the Czech Republic to be a continuation of Czechoslovakia (join date: 1908), but Slovakia to be a new entity (join date: 1993). Consequently, the records of Czechoslovakia carry forward to the Czech Republic only. Much like how the USSR's records carry forward to Russia, but not The Ukraine, Latvia, Khazakstan, etc. The table in this article reflects that viewpoint. Cheers! Resolute 13:42, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
