The '''1934 [[Ice Hockey World Championships]]''' were held from February 3–11, 1934, at the [[Palazzo del Ghiaccio]] in [[Milan]], [[Italy]]. [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Canada]] won its seventh world championship, defeating the [[United States men's national ice hockey team|United States]] in the final. The World Championship bronze medal and the European Championship title went to [[Germany men's national ice hockey team|Germany]]. It was the second European Championship title for the Germans.

Like the [[1933 World Ice Hockey Championships|previous year's World Championship]] twelve teams participated, with defending champions United States and Canada advancing directly to the second-round. The other ten teams split into three preliminary groups for the six remaining second round places. In the preliminary Group C, there was a stalemate among the three teams; all three earned two points with equal goal differentials. As a result, the organizing committee decided that 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, while the fourth semifinal position was decided by an extra qualifying round for the second-place finishers.<ref name=summary>[http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1934.htm Tournament summary]</ref> The second and third place teams in the extra qualifying round were awarded fifth and sixth positions, and the six teams not advancing to the semifinals or semifinal qualification round played a round-robin series for positions seven through twelve.
