Govel was the starting goalies during wins over Japan, Switzerland and Romania. In the game against hosts Romania, Netherlands qualified for the Olympic winter games of Lake Placid. De Bruyn was in net during the wins against Norway, China and the DDR. That last win meant the gold medal went to the Netherlands and furthermore promotion to the A-pool.
