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.

““Must we burn Sade?” asks Mme de Beauvoir. Now that you mention it, why not? The world is littered with literature. And Sade teaches us little about human nature which we couldn’t gather from a few minutes of honest introspection.”
—D.J. Enright (b. 1920)
““A tedious brief scene of young Pyramus
And his love Thisbe, very tragical mirth”—
Merry and tragical? Tedious and brief?
That is hot ice and wondrous strange snow!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
