The 1935 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships were held between January 19 and January 27, 1935 in Davos, Switzerland with 15 countries taking part, a record. The 15 teams first played in four preliminary round groups (three groups of four and a group with three teams). Unlike the previous year, Canada participated in the preliminary round. The first two teams in each group advanced to the second round while the remaining seven teams played in a consolation round to determine positions 9 through 15. In the second round there were two groups of four teams. The first two teams in each group then advanced to a final round with the remaining teams played for positions 5 though 8.
Canada won its eighth world championship title while the host, Switzerland, won its second European championship.
Famous quotes containing the words world and/or ice:
“It is too late—the world is too dark for any thought ahead. Others are writing my biography, and let it rest as they elect to make it. I have lived my life, well and ill, always less well than I wanted it to be but it is, as it is, and as it has been; so small a thing, to have had so much about it!”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
