- The 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship was co-hosted by Tampere, Finland, and Riga, Latvia, and ran from May 12 to May 28, 2023. Canada won the title, defeating Germany 5-2 in the final to claim their 28th world championship title. This marked Germany’s first appearance in the gold medal game in the tournament’s history.
