The 1976 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships were between December 26, 1975, and January 1, 1976, in Tampere, Turku, Pori and Rauma Finland. The Soviet team won the tournament with a perfect 4–0 record.[1] This was the third edition of the Ice Hockey World Junior Championship, but the results are not included in official IIHF records.[2] Canada was represented by a club team, the Sherbrooke Castors, while the other four nations were represented by teams of their top under-20 players.[3] The United States did not participate in this tournament, after having competed in the 1974 and 1975 tournaments.
