“
The participants will hold a minimum of seven matches, and the playoff participants-8-10 games. The future champion has to overcome the path of ten matches with a prerequisite for victory in the last three.
The subtleties of the regulation According to the Rules of competitions, 16 teams are divided into two groups of eight teams. There they will hold a circular system, where everyone will play with each, seven games. The four best teams of each group will go to the Playoff, where they play medals of the championship already by the Olympic system, with a disposal. In the quarterfinals, the first team A team will play with the fourth of group B, the second group A with the third of group B and so on.
5-7 teams of the standings of each group will go home to prepare for the next World Cup. And here are the two worst teams of the tournament, the outsiders of the groups, will fall to the second most important Division IA, where the next 2026 World Championship will be held. One of their main rivals will be the national team of Ukraine, which this year in the IA Division tournament has taken third place.
Stars on visit to them Of course, the World Cup cannot be compared to Canada’s Cup or Olympic Games, where, where, In 2026, after a 12-year break, the stars of NHL come again. But even here are periodically the tops of the North American League.
This year, the Canadian national team stands. The team staff managed to get to the composition, perhaps, the main star of the Canadian hockey of the XXI century Sidney Crossby. The veteran will go to the planetary championship for the first time in 10 years. At the 2015 World Cup, Pittsburgh’s forward helped the “maple leaves” to win gold medals. Also in the Canadian Crossby team won gold Olympiad Vancouver-2010 and Sochi-2014. At the World Championships 19 years ago, in 2006, he and the team finished the fourth.
At the same time, he played the last time for Canada Sidney in February, but as part of the tournament of four nations, which replaced the “match of all stars” of NHL. Then the Canadian national team won the tournament, and the experienced central striker threw one puck and gave 4 productive gears. But in the tournaments under the auspices of IIHF he really did not play after the winning World Cup 2015. Typically, Stanley’s Playoff is a Canadian national team will only take part in the World Cup for the third time in his career.
To the tournament, his friends are Nathan McKinnon and a 40-year-old star goalkeeper Mark-Andre Flery to the tournament – But even without them, “maple” gathered a wonderful team.
By the way, Flery is definitely going on the championship. In case of victory, Mark-Andre will become a member of the elite “Triple Golden Club” is a list of hockey players who won the Stanley Cup for their careers as well as the gold of the World Cup and Olympiad.
The second goalkeeper will be Dylan Gerand, in defenses will be “noah Dogson, Brandon Montur, Rayker Evans, Travis Sanheim and McKenzie Vigar, in the attack of Crossby and McKinnon, Ryan O’Rillie, Travis Konechna and Bo Croat should be significantly assisted. However, the whole composition of “maple leaves” has a striking appearance.
Young gift from Massachusetts If in the Canadian national team all the attention is drawn to 37-year-old Crossby, then the US national team cannot pass by Villa Smith, which is only 20. In 2024, he won the US World Cup in the US national team, and will now be with the national team to fight for the title of “Adult”.
Smith was elected San Jose Shakes team under the fourth number on the 2023 Draft, at the age of 18. After that, the young player set several age records. In less than a year, Smith signed a newcomer’s contract with Sharks and started his debut season in the NHL. He scored his first two goals in the NHL at the Chicago goal on October 31 at the age of 19 and 228. Thus, Smith became the youngest player born in the United States and scored several goals in one game since Cole Sillinger made a hat-trick for Colubus Blu Jackets on March 13, 2022 at the age of 18, 301. Smith also became the youngest player in Sharx’s history, who did it after Patrick Marlo in 1999 (19 years old, 183 days). Now he will try to beat age records in the US national team.
The leaders of the US national team in the future tournament will probably be Tajd Thompson and Brady Shei, whose teams are also not involved in Stanley Cup. But, it will be interesting to look at the other yesterday’s junior Cole Hatson.
Who to Canada? The current winners of the tournament are the Czechs who beat the national team in the finals last year’s home. Third place went to the Swedes who were sensationally left without rewards of the main favorites of the tournament – Canadians.
However, this year, Canada is unlikely to be competitors in addition to the owners, if you look at the team and evaluate its strengths. Yes, individual NHL stars are present in all national teams. The same team of the Czech Republic will be one of the strongest forwards of the generation David Pasrtnyak-the author of the winning goal in the match for gold for the 2024 World Cup. But if the Czechs will come out without problems, then in the playoff every match for them will be a big test. It is possible that the Czech national team will complete the tournament at the stage of 1/4 of the finals.
More powerful than the Czechs, for example, the Finland national team looks, with Yuu Srosom and Tauwo Taking in the composition. Probably hoped in the Dallas Cup departure team, where four Finns, led by Micco Rantanen, played, but he caught some unreal goal wave and pulled out his club to the second round of Stanley Cup. What made the chances of the Suomi team at the 2025 World Cup is noticeably lower.
Separately stand The owners of the tournament are Swedes, and of course, “Trep” dream of victory in their native walls. 15 NHL players are not a joke. Lucas Raymond, Marcus Petterson, Mika Zbandazad and the company dream of bringing the national team to win.
