4 might have been enough if the next tie-breaker was goals for. I'll have to see if I can find anything from back then.

I'm showing my age here, but what?
Was it just best record got gold no playoff round?
The one thing I forgot was that it was a round-robin setup, so it was a little more complicated. All 8 teams were playing that day and there were several combinations that would've gone from Canada winning gold to not medalling. It's only in hindsight that the goal difference could've been looked at.
Yes. Straight round-robin. Best 3 teams in the standings won medals.
Edit: 1996 was the first playoff tournament.
