For the fourth straight year, the [[Soviet Union national ice hockey team|Soviet Union]] won the tournament. For the Soviets, it was their sixth World and tenth European title. The Czechs beat both Canada and Sweden two to one, to take the Silver, while the Swedes' historic loss to East Germany helped put them fourth behind Canada for the Bronze.

The lower two tiers (Groups B and C) were formalized, so there would be no more qualifying tournaments with promotion and relegation taking places between these two tournaments as well. West Germany won all their games to return to the top level of competition while Great Britain went winless and was replaced by Group C winner Italy.

The Canadian national team players wanted to withdraw from the World Championships in protest of the [[Official (ice hockey)|officiating]] in a loss to the Czechoslovakian national team in which Canada was the more-penalized team and had two goals disallowed. The team's manager [[David Bauer (ice hockey)|Father David Bauer]] stayed up all night with the team and talked them into continuing to avoid a national embarrassment and sanctions against the team.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thehockeywriters.com/50-years-ago-in-hockey-players-relent-canada-back-in-tourney/|title=Players Relent – Canada Back In Tourney|last=Cole|first=Rick|date=March 11, 2016|website=The Hockey Writers|access-date=February 9, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Oliver|first=Greg|title=Father Bauer and the Great Experiment: The Genesis of Canadian Olympic Hockey|publisher=[[ECW Press]]|date=2017|location=Toronto, Ontario|isbn=978-1-77041-249-1|pages=149–150}}</ref>

The 1966 Ice Hockey World Championships was the 33rd edition of the Ice Hockey World Championships. The tournament was held in Hala Tivoli, Ljubljana, SR Slovenia, SFR Yugoslavia from 3 to 14 March 1966. For the fourth straight year, the Soviet Union won the tournament. For the Soviets, it was their sixth World and tenth European title. Czechoslovakia beat both Canada and Sweden two to one, to take the Silver, while the Swedes' historic loss to East Germany helped put them fourth behind Canada for the Bronze.

The lower two tiers (Groups B and C) were formalized, so there would be no more qualifying tournaments with promotion and relegation taking places between these two tournaments as well. West Germany won all their games to return to the top level of competition while Great Britain went winless and was replaced by Group C winner Italy.

World Championship Group A (Ljubljana)

[edit]

The Canadian national team players wanted to withdraw from the World Championships in protest of the officiating in a loss to the Czechoslovakian national team in which Canada was the more-penalized team and had two goals disallowed. The team's manager Father David Bauer stayed up all night with the team and talked them into continuing to avoid a national embarrassment and sanctions against the team.[1][2]
