2016 postage stamp of Russia, dedicated to 2016 IIHF World Championship. Laika, the mascot of the championship, is in the centre.

The 2016 IIHF World Championship was the 80th such event hosted by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), being held from 6 to 22 May 2016 in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, Russia.^[1] Canada entered the tournament as the defending 2015 champions. Hungary returned to the Championship after a 6-year absence, and Kazakhstan after a 1-year absence.^[2]

Canada won their 26th gold medal, defeating Finland 2–0 in the gold medal game.^[3] With the win Corey Perry became the second consecutive Canadian team captain to earn membership in the Triple Gold Club.^[4] Russia won the bronze medal, defeating the United States 7–2 in the bronze medal game.^[5]
