The '''2015 IIHF World Championship''' was the 79th event hosted by the [[International Ice Hockey Federation]] (IIHF), held in [[Prague]] and [[Ostrava]], [[Czech Republic]], between 1–17 May 2015. The tournament was the top division of the [[2015 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships]]. It broke the historical attendance record of IIHF World Championships.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihfworlds2015.com/en/news/attendance-record-broken/|title=Attendance record broken|date=14 May 2015|work=iihfworlds2015.com}}</ref>

[[Canada]] won their 25th title by defeating [[Russia]] 6–1 in the championship final game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihfworlds2015.com/en/news/gold/|title=Million-dollar Maple Leafs|date=17 May 2015|work=iihfworlds2015.com}}</ref> Canada went undefeated at the tournament to win its first IIHF championship since 2007. With the win, Canadian captain Sidney Crosby became a member of the Triple Gold Club and the first to be the team captain for all three events. After the final game, most Russian players walked out from the medal ceremony before the Canadian anthem was played.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sports.ru/hockey/1029819069.html|title=Канада – Россия.

The Russians on the other hand were fined 80,000 CHF for leaving the ice early, and chose not to appeal the penalty.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=9985&cHash=5dd671a73a4522d601b140eab87dfd1a|title=Russia issued fine|date=24 August 2015|publisher=iihf.com|accessdate=25 August 2015}}</ref>

==Bids==
On 21 May 2010, the Czech bid was successful and got 84 votes in the race for hosting the 2015 IIHF World Championship. The application beat out that from [[Kiev]], [[Ukraine]] (22 votes).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/news-singleview/?tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=4702|title=Worlds come back to Prague |publisher=IIHF |date=2010-05-21 |accessdate=2010-06-20| archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20100704193726/http://www.iihf.com/channels10/iihf-world-championship-wc10/news/news-singleview-world-championship/article/worlds-come-back-to-prague.html?| archivedate= 4 July 2010 | deadurl= no}}</ref>

The two venues for the tournament were the [[O2 Arena (Prague)|O2 Arena]] (formerly Sazka Arena) in Prague and [[ČEZ Aréna (Ostrava)|ČEZ Aréna]] in Ostrava, the same two venues that co-hosted the [[2004 Men's World Ice Hockey Championships]]. Before Ostrava was announced, [[Plzeň]], [[Brno]], [[Pardubice]], and even [[Bratislava]], [[Slovakia]], were considered.<ref>[http://moravskoslezsky.denik.cz/zpravy_region/ostrava_mistrovtvi_plzen20110526.html Vezme Plzeň Ostravě také mistrovství světa v hokeji?]</ref><ref>[http://czechhockeyreport.blogspot.com/2012/05/prague-bratislava-to-co-host-worlds.html Prague & Bratislava to co-host Worlds?]</ref>

==Format==
Of the 16 teams in the tournament Czech Republic qualified as host while Austria and Slovenia qualified through the [[2014 IIHF World Championship Division I]], the rest qualified after a top 14 placement at the 2014 IIHF World Championship. The teams were divided into two groups of which the four best from each advanced to the quarterfinals. Here they met cross-over as indicated in the section below.<ref name="Format2014">{{cite web| title = Information| url = http://www.iihfworlds2015.com/en/information/| publisher=IIHF| accessdate=6 April 2015}}</ref>

In the group round, points are awarded as follows:
*3 points for a win in regulation time ('''W''')
*2 point for a team that drew in regulation time but won the following overtime ('''OTW''') or game winning shots ('''GWS''') Note: In group play, overtime is played as 5 minutes of sudden death after a 3-minute intermission. If no goal is scored, the game goes to a shootout (Game Winning Shots). During a quarter-, semi- or bronze final, the sudden death period would be 10 minutes and during the final it would be 20 minutes.<ref name="Format2014"/> Game Winning Shots procedure is as follows: Three different players from each team would take alternate shots. If the game is still tied after this, one player from each team would take alternating shots until one scored and the other missed. Only the decisive goal counted in the result table for group play.<ref name="Format2014"/>
*1 point for a team that drew and lost the above-mentioned competition ('''OTL''')
*0 points for a team that lost in regulation time ('''L''')
If two or more teams finished with an equal number of points in the same group, their standings were determined by the following tiebreaking formula:<ref name="Format2014"/>
#Points in games between the tied teams
#Goal difference in games between the tied teams
#Goals scored in games between the tied teams
#Results against the closest best-ranking team outside the original group of tied teams
#Results against the next highest ranking team outside the original group of tied teams
#Tournament seedings

Final ranking: places 1–4 are determined by the medal games. Other places are determined by playoff positioning, group play positioning in the group, number of points, goal difference, goals scored, and tournament seeding. The two lowest ranking teams overall are relegated to Division I A.<ref name="Format2014"/>

==Seeding==
The seeding in the preliminary round was based on the 2014 [[IIHF World Ranking]], which ended at the conclusion of the 2014 IIHF World Championship. Slovakia and Switzerland swapped their slots between their groups to optimize the seeding for the Czech organizers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iihfworlds2014.com/en/news/world-ranking/|title=Sweden defends first place|date=2014-05-25|work=iihfworlds2014.com}}</ref>
