Pool A in Stockholm, Sweden, 14. - 30 March 1970 Pool B in Bucharest, Romania, 24 February - 5 March 1970 Pool C in Galaţi, Romania, 13–22 February 1970

For the eighth straight year, the Soviet Union won the world championship. Originally the tournament was scheduled to be held in Montreal and Winnipeg in Canada. However, after a dispute over allowing professional players in international tournaments, the Canadian team withdrew from hosting and competing in international hockey. They would not return to international play until 1977. This tournament was also the first one to make helmets mandatory for all skaters.
