MEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2018 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preliminary Round DAY 1 Group A Central European Summer Time (GMT +2) Russia vs France Period-by-Period: May 4th 2018, h. 16:15, Royal Arena, Copenhaguen Sweden vs Belarus Period-by-Period: May 4th 2018, h. 20:15, Royal Arena, Copenhaguen Group B Central European Summer Time (GMT +2) United States vs Canada Period-by-Period: May 4th 2018, h. 16:15, Jyske Bank Boxen, Herning Germany vs Denmark Period-by-Period: May 4th 2018, h. 20:15, Jyske Bank Boxen, Herning *Official Livestreams should be added by tomorrow in the spoilers

Tournament Format PRELIMINARY ROUND 16 Teams are divided into 2 Preliminary Round Groups A and B. In both groups every team will play once each opponent of his group, so every team will play at least 7 matches at the world championships. For every win in Regulation Time (60 minutes divided in 3x20 minutes periods) the team will be awarded by 3 points to the group table standing, the losing team will not receive any point (0 points). Every match must have a winner, so if the game will be still tied after 60 minutes of Regulation Time, a 5 minutes "Sudden death" Overtime will follow (played by 3 vs 3 players), the team which score a goal in the overtime is declared winner and the match is automatically ended, if even after the 5 mintes Overtime the result remains still tied, there a Shoot-Out procedure that must decide the game with a series of 5 vs 5 attempts, if the result remains undecided the Shoot-Out procedure continue with a 1 vs 1 attempts direct KO until the result will be decided. the winner after OT or GWS will be awarded by 2 points, the losing team after OT/GWS will receive 1 point from this game. The tie-breaking system for two teams with the same number of points in a standing will be the direct head to head confrontation game between the two teams, the winner of the game taking precedence. Due to the fact that the three-point system does not allow a game to end in a tie, then the following tie breaking procedure is applicable when three or more teams are tied in points in a Championship standing. Should three or more teams be tied on points, then a tie breaking formula will be applied as follows, creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams. This process will continue until only two or none of the teams remain tied. In the case of two tied teams remaining, the game between the two would then be the determining tie-breaker as the game could not end as a tie. The top 4 teams from both groups will qualify for the Quarterfinals. The tournament will be over after the preliminary round for all teams ranked 5th to 8th from both groups, with the final ranking decided following their positions in the group, 5th teams will be ranked 9th and 10th, 6th teams ranked 11th and 12th., the 7th teams will be ranked 13th and 14th and the last teams from both groups will be ranked 15th and 16th. RELEGATION 8th Ranked teams from both Preliminary Round Groups will be relegated to next years Division I Group A and will be replaced next year by Great Britain and Italy, freshly promoted countries from this years Div I A tournament held last week in Hungary. IMPORTANT: Slovakia has the Immunity this year !!! thus if Slovakia will finish last in its group and thus among the overall bottom ranked two teams, the overall ranked 14th-placed team would be relegated instead. KNOCK-OUT ROUND As explained the top 4 teams from both groups will qualify for the Quarterfinals, The teams will be paired by cross-over system from the groups, Winner of Group A vs 4th of Group B, 2nsdo g Group A vs 3rd of Group B, 2nd Groups B vs 3rd of Group A and 1st of Group B vs 4th of Group A. the winners of the quarterfinals will qualify for the Semifinals, The winning teams of the semi-final games advance to the gold medal game while the semi-final losing teams play for bronze. In the Quarterfinals, Semifinals and Bronze Medal match, the "Sudden death" Overtime is played 10 minutes with 4 vs 4 Players, In the Gold Medal Game, the "Sudden death" Overtime is played 20 minutes with 4 vs 4 players

Road to IIHF World Championships Exhibition Games Tuesday May 1st, 2018 Latvia - Canada 1 - 6 Denmark - United States 2 - 3

Yes, only 12 players from this year played in PyeongChang. It´s a interesting team, focused mainly on the rejuvenation of the national team. Since we have this year the Immunity and can not be relegated, we can try to implement some new faces looking to reach experiences for the future. there 9 World Championships debutants in this team !!! but also some really experienced guys like Dominik Graňák who is going to his 12th World Championships ! The youngest player is Martin Feherváry a real talent, since his childhood he skipped the years, at 16 he already was the leader of our U18 and at 17 in the U20 team and this year he is at 18 in the seniors world championship roster. (he is still the recoed holder of league, because at 16 years and 3 months he played a game for Malmo and became the youngest foreigner playing a match in SWE SHL league, last season he made another record at 17 he became the youngest captain ever of any second division swedes club in Oskarshamn), next season he´ll return to the elite league since he signed a deal with HV71. The oldest is former many seasons NHLer and world champion Ladislav Nagy going to his 7th WCH tournament. Btw among the rookies we have also Dávid Bondra, who is no else than the son of Peter Bondra
