The '''1996 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships''' (''1996 [[IIHF World U20 Championship|WJHC]]'') was the 20th edition of the [[World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|World Junior Ice Hockey Championship]], hosted in Massachusetts. The tournament was won by [[Canada national junior hockey team|Canada]]—defeating [[Sweden national junior men's ice hockey team|Sweden]] 4-1 in the gold-medal game—earning Canada their fourth straight gold medal and ninth overall, tying the Soviet team's record in both regards.

Attendance was less than spectacular for the championships in the United States. It would be the last time the US would host the tournament until [[2005 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships|2005]] in Grand Forks.

Among this edition of the tournament's future NHL stars were Milan Hejduk, Miikka Kiprusoff, Chris Drury, Marco Sturm, José Theodore, Mattias Ohlund, Daymond Langkow, Sergei Samsonov and tournament scoring leader Jarome Iginla.

This was the first World Juniors tournament to implement the two groups, round-robin/preliminaries and playoff format. It was also [[Slovakia]]'s first appearance at the top level in the junior tournament.
