The 2012 IIHF World Championship is the 76th IIHF World Championship, an annual international hockey tournament. It takes place between 4–20 May 2012 in Finland and Sweden. This tournament is also going to determine the countries' seeding for the men's Olympic Ice Hockey tournament in Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics, and for all countries participating in the qualification program leading up to the Olympics.[1]

Contents

[edit] Host selection

The games are played in the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, and Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. At the congress in Moscow in 2007 four nations submitted bids to host the 2012 World Championship, Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Hungary. The Hungarian and Czech bids were withdrawn before the vote, that was won by Finland.[2] At the congress in Bern in 2009 it was announced that Finland and Sweden (the host for the 2013 World Championship) would co-host both the 2012 and 2013 tournaments.[3]

[edit] Format

For the first time since 2000, a new format will be adopted in the IIHF World Hockey Championships. The preliminary round and qualification round will be merged into one (two pools of eight teams), with the top four teams from each pool advancing to the quarterfinals. This was done as it rewards consistently strong teams instead of those who make "upsets."[4]

[edit] Rosters

For more details on this topic, see 2012 IIHF World Championship rosters.

Each teams roster for the 2012 IIHF World Championship consists of at least 15 skaters (forwards, and defencemen) and 2 goaltenders, and at most 22 skaters and 3 goaltenders.[5] All sixteen participating nations, through the confirmation of their respective national associations, had to submit a roster by the first IIHF directorate meeting.

[edit] Nations

The following 16 nations qualified for the elite-pool tournament. 13 nations from Europe, 2 nations from North America and 1 nation from Asia are represented.[6]

[edit] Seeding and groups

See also: IIHF World Ranking

The seeding in the preliminary round is based on the 2011 IIHF World Ranking, which ended at the conclusion of the 2011 IIHF World Championship. The teams were grouped accordingly by seeding (in parenthesis is the corresponding world ranking)[8]:

Group H (Helsinki)

Group S (Stockholm)

[edit] Preliminary round

The top four teams in each group move to the quarterfinals where the group winner meets the fourth place, and the group runner-up meets the third place within the same group. The last placed team in each group is relegated to Division I, Group A.[9]
