The '''2004 World Cup of Hockey''' was an international [[ice hockey]] tournament. It was the second installment of the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL)-sanctioned competition, eight years after the inaugural [[1996 World Cup of Hockey]].  It was held from August 30 to September 14, 2004, and took place in various venues in North America and Europe.  [[Canada men's national ice hockey team|Canada]] won the championship, defeating [[Finland men's national ice hockey team|Finland]] in the final, held in Toronto.

The tournament directly preceded the NHL lockout, as the NHL announced the suspension of the 2004–05 season two days after the tournament final was played.
