<a href="/wiki/Ice_hockey" title="Ice hockey">ice hockey</a> tournament organized by the <a href="/wiki/International_Ice_Hockey_Federation" title="International Ice Hockey Federation">International Ice Hockey Federation</a> (IIHF). First officially held at the <a href="/wiki/1920_Summer_Olympics" title="1920 Summer Olympics">1920 Summer Olympics</a>. The IIHF was created in 1908 while the <a href="/wiki/Ice_Hockey_European_Championships" title="Ice Hockey European Championships">European Championships</a>, the precursor to the World Championships, were first held in 1910. The <a href="/wiki/Ice_hockey_at_the_Olympic_Games" title="Ice hockey at the Olympic Games">tournament</a> held at the <a href="/wiki/1920_Summer_Olympics" title="1920 Summer Olympics">1920 Summer Olympics</a> is recognized as the first Ice Hockey World Championship. From 1920 to 1968, the Olympic hockey tournament was also considered the World Championship for that year. </p><p>The first World Championship that was held as an individual event was in <a href="/wiki/1930_World_Ice_Hockey_Championships" class="mw-redirect" title="1930 World Ice Hockey Championships">1930</a> in which twelve nations participated. In <a href="/wiki/1931_World_Ice_Hockey_Championships" class="mw-redirect" title="1931 World Ice Hockey Championships">1931</a>, ten teams played a series of <a href="/wiki/Round-robin_tournament" title="Round-robin tournament">round-robin format</a> qualifying rounds to determine which nations participated in the medal round. Medals were awarded based on the final standings of the teams in the medal round. In 1951, thirteen nations took part and were split into two groups. The top seven teams (Pool A) played for the World Championship. The other six (<a href="/wiki/IIHF_World_Championship_Division_I" title="IIHF World Championship Division I">Pool B</a>) played for ranking purposes. This basic format would be used until 1992 (although small variations were made). During a congress in 1990, the IIHF introduced a playoff system. As the IIHF grew, more teams began to participate at the World Championships, so more pools (later renamed divisions) were introduced. </p><p>The modern format for the World Championship features 16 teams in the championship group, 12 teams in <a href="/wiki/IIHF_World_Championship_Division_I" title="IIHF World Championship Division I">Division I</a>, 12 teams in <a href="/wiki/IIHF_World_Championship_Division_II" title="IIHF World Championship Division II">Division II</a> and 12 teams in <a href="/wiki/IIHF_World_Championship_Division_III" title="IIHF World Championship Division III">Division III</a>. If there are more than 52 teams, the rest compete in <a href="/wiki/IIHF_World_Championship_Division_IV" title="IIHF World Championship Division IV">Division IV</a>. The teams in the championship play a preliminary round, then the top eight teams play in the playoff medal round and the winning team is crowned World Champion. Over the years, the tournament has gone through several <a href="/wiki/Ice_hockey_rules" title="Ice hockey rules">rule</a> changes. In 1969 <a href="/wiki/Checking_(ice_hockey)" title="Checking (ice hockey)">body-checking</a> in all three zones in a <a href="/wiki/Ice_hockey_rink" title="Ice hockey rink">rink</a> was allowed, <a href="/wiki/Hockey_helmet" title="Hockey helmet">helmets</a> and <a href="/wiki/Goaltender_mask" title="Goaltender mask">goaltender masks</a> became mandatory in the early 1970s and in 1992 the IIHF began using the <a href="/wiki/Penalty_shootout" title="Penalty shootout">shootout</a>. The current IIHF rules differ slightly from the <a href="/wiki/National_Hockey_League_rules" title="National Hockey League rules">rules used in the NHL</a>. From the 1920 Olympics until the 1976 World Championships, only athletes designated as "amateur" were allowed to compete in the tournament. Because of this, players from the <a href="/wiki/National_Hockey_League" title="National Hockey League">National Hockey League</a> and its senior minor-league teams were not allowed to compete, while the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a> was allowed to use permanent full-time players who were positioned as regular workers of an <a href="/wiki/Krylya_Sovetov_Moscow" title="Krylya Sovetov Moscow">aircraft industry</a> or <a href="/wiki/Traktor_Chelyabinsk" title="Traktor Chelyabinsk">tractor industry</a> employer that sponsored what would be presented as an after-hours amateur <a href="/wiki/Sports_club" title="Sports club">social sports society</a> team for their workers. In 1970, after an agreement to allow just a small number of its professionals to participate was rescinded by the IIHF, Canada withdrew from the tournament.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMacSkimming19968_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacSkimming19968-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Starting in 1977, professional athletes were allowed to compete in the tournament and Canada re-entered.<sup id="cite_ref-Canada_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Canada-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The IIHF requires that players are citizens of the country they represent and allow players to switch national teams provided that they play in their new nation for a certain period of time. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Canada_men%27s_national_ice_hockey_team" title="Canada men&#39;s national ice hockey team">Canada</a> was the tournament's first dominant team, <a href="/wiki/List_of_IIHF_World_Championship_medalists" title="List of IIHF World Championship medalists">winning the tournament</a> 12 times from 1930 to 1952.

The <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union_national_ice_hockey_team" class="mw-redirect" title="Soviet Union national ice hockey team">Soviet Union</a> first participated in 1954 and soon became rivals with Canada. From 1963 until the nation's breakup in 1991, the Soviet Union was the dominant team, winning 20 championships out of 26. During that period, only three other nations won medals: Canada, Czechoslovakia and Sweden. <a href="/wiki/Russia_men%27s_national_ice_hockey_team" title="Russia men&#39;s national ice hockey team">Russia</a> first participated in 1992 and the <a href="/wiki/Czech_Republic_men%27s_national_ice_hockey_team" title="Czech Republic men&#39;s national ice hockey team">Czech Republic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Slovakia_men%27s_national_ice_hockey_team" title="Slovakia men&#39;s national ice hockey team">Slovakia</a> began competing in 1993.
