The Toronto Canadas were a senior team that toured Europe in the 1929-30 season and won the 1930 World Championship representing Canada.

They had originally been the Toronto CCM team that won the Toronto Mercantile League championship in 1928-29. The CCM company, which was a leading manufacturer of hockey equipment, was looking to promote its products in Europe. It sought for and was granted permission by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association to send its team on a tour of Europe. Since the World Championship was going to be held that year as well, the Canadas were named as the country's representative.

During their European tour they won 31 of the 32 games that they played, including the 6-1 win over Germany in the championship final. They lost one game, a 1-0 defeat to Austria in Vienna.
