It was held from 15 to 23 February 1947 at Štvanice Stadium in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Eight teams participated, but the competition was notably missing the reigning world champion, Canada. The world champion was decided for the first time by round robin league play. Czechoslovakia won the world championship for the first time and the European championship for the seventh time. King Gustav V had sent a telegram of congratulations to the Swedish team after beating the Czechoslovaks, but they had barely finished celebrating when they were upset by the Austrians, costing them the gold medal.

The game was standardized to be played in three 20 minute periods, aligning with the Canadian practice. The net size was standardized as well. There would be no more one- and three-minute penalties, and penalty shots were instituted.Duplacey page 502 Japan and Germany were barred from participation, but the LIHG was careful to illustrate that it was the politics, not the people, who were at fault, and allies like Austria and Italy were admitted.http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1947.htm Summary at Passionhockey.com 2012-10-25 2013-10-31 https://web.archive.org/web/20131031001335/http://www.passionhockey.com/hockeyarchives/mondial1947.htm dead 1947 World Ice Hockey Championships (Prague, Czechoslovakia) Game results 15.
