Ice hockey at the 2015 Winter Universiade was held from February 3 through February 14 at the Granada Sport Palace and the nearby Mulhacen Pavilion in Granada. In most cases, men's matches were played at the Granada Sport Palace and women's matches were played at the Mulhacen Pavilion, although exceptions were made for the women's semifinals and medal games played in the larger Granada Sport Palace, while some lower men's placement games and one quarterfinal were played at the Mulhacen Pavilion. The draw to place the teams - 11 in the men's tournament and seven in the women's tournament, including the hosting Spain sides in both cases - into their assigned pools took place on September 25, 2014.

The Canada men's national ice hockey team is the ice hockey team representing Canada internationally. The team is overseen by Hockey Canada, a member of the International Ice Hockey Federation. From 1920 until 1963, Canada's international representation was by senior amateur club teams. Canada's national men's team was founded in 1963 by Father David Bauer as a part of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, playing out of the University of British Columbia. The nickname "Team Canada" was first used for the 1972 Summit Series and has been frequently used to refer to both the Canadian national men's and women's teams ever since.
