The '''1976 World Ice Hockey Championships''' were the 43rd [[Ice Hockey World Championships]] and the 54th [[Ice Hockey World Championships#IIHF European Championship|European Championships]] in ice hockey. The tournament took place in [[Poland]] from 8 April to 25 April, and the games were played in [[Katowice]]. Eight teams took part in the main tournament, with each team first playing each other once. The four best teams then took part in a medal play off, and the teams placed 5-8 took part in a relegation play-off. The teams took the results from the first round through to the second round with them.

The 1976 IHWC tournament was first to feature major league professionals from the [[NHL]] and WHA although in the end only the [[United States men's national ice hockey team|United States]] made use of the new rule, recalling eight pros from the Minnesota North Stars and Minnesota Fighting Saints.<ref>Podnieks page 145</ref><ref>Duplacey page 506</ref> The Americans promptly made the medal play off for the first time since 1962 after beating Sweden and tying Finland in the first round.

The [[Czechoslovak National Team]] won nine games and were unbeaten, becoming world champions for the fourth time. The defending champions from the [[Soviet Union national ice hockey team|USSR]] finished 2nd after sensationally losing the opening game 4-6 to hosts Poland. Sweden won the bronze after beating the Americans 7-3 in the medal round. In the [[IIHF European Championships|European]] standings Sweden moved up one position leaving the Soviets with the bronze for the first time ever.
