The 86th Ice Hockey World Championship should have been held in St. Petersburg. However, since Russia is excluded from the tournament due to the war of invasion against Ukraine, it will take place in Tampere (Fi) and Riga (Lett).
The match will be played in the Arena Riga, which can accommodate 10,300 spectators and, like last year, in the Nokia Arena in Tampere with 13,500 seats.
Due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, the International Ice Hockey Federation IIHF has decided that neither Russia nor Belarus can participate in the World Championship. As in the previous year, the two nations were excluded.
The International Ice Hockey Federation IIHF has organized world championships since 1920. The first three events in 1920, 1924 and 1928 took place as part of the Olympic Games. Beginning in the 1930s, the World Hockey Championships became their own annual tournament. Between 1940 and 1946 it was canceled due to World War II and in 2020 due to the Corona pandemic. From 1932 to 1968, the Olympic Games remained World Championships, since 1972, with the exception of 1980, 1984 and 1988, there has also been a World Championship in the Olympic years.
All national hockey games are broadcast on SRFzwei. In addition, more selected group matches, a quarter-final, the two semi-finals and the final will be shown on SRFzwei. MySports delivers all World Cup matches live to your living room.
Patrick Fischer announces his selection a few days before the first World Cup match. Although Roman Josi has already been eliminated from the NHL playoffs with the Nashville Predators, the defender is missing. He has to pass because he is suffering from the effects of a concussion.
A total of 64 matches will be played at the World Cup. There will be played in two groups of 8. The best four will meet in the quarter finals (first against fourth and second against third). In case of a tie decide:
Group A (in Tampere)
Group B (in Riga)
Finland won the title at home last year. In the final, the Scandinavians defeated Canada 4:3 aet. Like Sweden, the two countries are again among the favorites for the title.
Switzerland resumes the hunt for its first world title. In 2013 and 2018, ice cream lovers were very close. In the end, it was “only” enough for the silver medal twice.
In total, a world ice hockey champion has been crowned 84 times. Russia and Canada are record winners with 27 titles. The titles of the Soviet Union are also counted among the Russians, as the Russians took over their IIHF membership, as did the Czech Republic that of Czechoslovakia. The Czechs are in third place with 12. Switzerland was three times vice world champion (1935, 2013 and 2018) and also won eight bronze medals (1928, 1930, 1937, 1939, 1948, 1950, 1951 and 1953).
