The top 5 will surely remain the same for some time. I wrote the IIHF about this and they basically said it's because the women's teams apparently WISHED for a strong and less strong group. (I'm sure the US and Canada have too much influence). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahjfcshfghb 280 Posted April 14, 2019 #112 Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) The good news is the Czechs should leapfrog Sweden and Japan next year. So then they'll be ranked 6th, and I wager that'll be enough for direct Olympics with 10 teams! (They have to beat Japan, pretty much, by one position, and they've got it) Edited April 14, 2019 by ahjfcshfghb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that there is no ranking round, so there is very little opportunity for group B reams to finish ahead of group A teams, short of beating one of the top 3 teams in group A... This would actually be a really easy fix. Edited April 14, 2019 by NearPup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
