1934 World Ice Hockey Championships

The 1934 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships were held from February 3 – 11, 1934 in Milan, Italy. Canada won its seventh world championship, defeating the USA in the final. The World Championship bronze medal and the European Championship title went to Germany. It was the second European Championship title for the Germans.

Like the previous year's World Championship twelve teams participated, with defending champion USA and Canada advancing directly to the second round. The other ten teams split into three preliminary groups for the six remaining second round places. But in the preliminary Group C, there was a stalemate among the three teams – all with two points and the same number of goals for and against. As a result, the organizing committee decided, all three teams in Group C should advance. With nine instead of eight teams in the second round, the format was changed from two groups of four teams to three groups of three teams. The group winners advanced directly to the semi-finals. The fourth semi-final position was decided by an extra qualifying round for the second place finishers. The second and third place teams in the extra qualifying round were awarded fifth and sixth positions. The six teams not advancing to the semi-finals or the extra qualifying round played a round-robin series for positions seven through twelve.
