Participants[]

Qualified as host

Automatic qualifier after the cancellation of the 2021 IIHF lower division championships

1 Pursuant to a December 2020 ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on doping sanctions, Russian athletes and teams are prohibited from competing under the Russian flag or using the Russian national anthem at any Olympic Games or world championships through 16 December 2022, and must compete as "neutral athlete[s]."[4] For IIHF tournaments, the Russian team will play under the name "ROC".[5] Instead of the Russian national anthem being played at the 2021 World Championship, Piano Concerto No.1 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was played.[6]

Seeding[]

The seedings in the preliminary round are based on the 2021 IIHF World Ranking, as of the end of the 2021 IIHF World Championship, using the serpentine system.[citation needed]

Preliminary round[]

The groups were announced on 7 June 2021,[7] with the schedule being revealed on 18 August 2021.[8]
