The '''1969 World Ice Hockey Championships''' was the 36th edition of the [[Ice Hockey World Championships]], which also doubled as the 47th European ice hockey championships. For the first time the Pool A, B and C tournaments were hosted by different nations:

:'''Pool A''' in [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]], 15. - 30 March 1969
:'''Pool B''' in [[Ljubljana]], [[Yugoslavia]], 28 February - 9 March 1969
:'''Pool C''' in [[Skopje]], Yugoslavia, 24 February - 2 March 1969

A total of 20 nations participated in the tournament. The Pool A team featured only the top six nations, now playing a double round-robin tournament for the amateur world championship. Teams #7-#14 contested the Pool B championship with the winner qualifying for the 1970 Pool A championship, while the bottom six participated in the Pool C tournament. Pool B and C began exchanging two teams this year (through promotion and relegation), a practice that lasted until 1987.

==World Championship Group A (Sweden)==
For the seventh straight year, the [[Soviet Union National Team|Soviet Union]] won the Pool A tournament. Originally the tournament was scheduled to be held in Czechoslovakia, but due to the Soviet invasion of the country, they declined to host.<ref name="Page 59">{{harvnb|Szemberg|Podnieks|2007|p=59}}</ref> In the two games the [[Czechoslovak National Team|Czechoslovak]] and Soviet teams played against each other, the Czechoslovak team won both times, becoming the first team to beat the Soviet Union twice in the same international tournament.<ref name="Page 59"/> For the first time in international ice hockey, body-checking was allowed in all three zones of the ice.<ref>{{harvnb|Szemberg|Podnieks|2007|p=199}}</ref> Team USA was demoted to Pool-B after losing all ten games.
