The 1970 Ice Hockey World Championships was the 37th edition of the Ice Hockey World Championships. 21 nations participated in three different divisions or pools:

Pool A in Stockholm, Sweden, 14–30 March 1970
Pool B in Bucharest, Romania, 24 February – 5 March 1970
Pool C in
Galaţi
, Romania, 13–22 February 1970

For the eighth straight year, the

Soviet Union won the world championship. Originally the tournament was scheduled to be held in Montreal and Winnipeg in Canada.[1] However, after a dispute over allowing professional players in international tournaments, the IIHF awarded the championships to other cities. The Canadian team withdrew from competing in international hockey. They would not return to international play until 1977.[2] This tournament was also the first one to make helmets mandatory for all skaters.[1]

Canada was scheduled to be the original host nation of Group A for the 1970 Ice Hockey World Championships, and the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) had granted use of up to nine former professional players for national teams at the event. The Canada men's national ice hockey team had not won the Ice Hockey World Championships since 1961 and had never hosted the event. Hockey Canada and the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association (CAHA) saw the use of professionals as the best chance to return Canada to hockey supremacy, and were committed to event including professionals.[3][4] Canadian officials were frustrated that their best players, competing in the National Hockey League (NHL), were prevented from playing while Soviet players, who were "employees" of the industrial or military organizations that fielded "amateur" teams, were allowed to compete.[5]

International Olympic Committee president Avery Brundage objected to the use of professionals at the World Championships and stated that any national team which played against professionals would be ineligible for ice hockey at the 1972 Winter Olympics.[6] The IIHF called an emergency meeting for January 1970 to discuss the situation.[4] CAHA president Earl Dawson argued that national teams participating in Izvestia Trophy tournaments had played against professionals, but were still eligible for the Olympics and the same should apply to the World Championships.[6] He also made the suggestion to consider the 1970 event an invitational tournament instead of a World Championships to avoid the wrath of the IOC, but the IIHF declined the notion. A vote was taken and five of the eight nations in the top division of the World Championships voted against the use of any professionals.[7]

Canada perceived the situation to be a double standard in international hockey since players on European national teams were believed to be state-sponsored professionals labeled as amateurs.[4] Dawson and the CAHA took stand against what they perceived as hypocrisy by European members of the IIHF.[4][8] Dawson withdrew the Canadian national team from international competitions against European hockey teams until Canada was allowed to use its best players. Hosting of the 1970 World Championships was given to Sweden.[7] Dawson felt that Sweden and the Soviet Union combined to sabotage the Canadian attempt to host the 1970 World Championships, because Sweden wanted to host the event and the Soviets did not want to lose the gold medal.[9]

Instead of competing internationally at the Olympics, Canadian officials helped organize a series of games against the

Soviet Union in September 1972 known as the Summit Series
. These games featured a Canadian team made up exclusively of NHL professionals.
