Sweden went undefeated at the tournament to win their second consecutive and eleventh overall title after defeating Switzerland in the final.[4] The United States won the bronze medal game, defeating Canada 4–1.

The official mascot of the tournament was a swan,[5] inspired by the Danish writer and poet Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale about The Ugly Duckling.[6]

Bids

edit

There were two bids to host this championship.[7]

Denmark is the only top-ranked IIHF country that has never hosted the tournament. The proposed arenas were the Royal ArenainCopenhagen and the Jyske Bank BoxeninHerning.[2] Both arenas have a capacity of around 12,000 for hockey games.[8]
Latvia hosted the IIHF World Championship in 2006. The proposed arenas were Arena Riga, and a secondary venue to be built.[2]

The decision was announced on 23 May 2014 in Minsk, Belarus. The final tally was 95-12 in favor of Denmark.[1][2]

    • Seeding

    edit

    The seeding in the preliminary round was based on the 2017 IIHF World Ranking, which ended at the conclusion of the 2017 IIHF World Championship.[9]

    Denmark and Sweden played in separate groups, Denmark at the Jyske Bank Boxen while Sweden at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen.[10]

    1 Denmark and France swapped sides so Denmark would not be in the same group as Sweden.

    Rosters

    edit
    Main article: 2018 IIHF World Championship rosters

    Each team's roster consisted of at least 15 skaters (forwards, and defencemen) and 2 goaltenders, and at most 22 skaters and 3 goaltenders. All 16 participating nations, through the confirmation of their respective national associations, had to submit a "Long List" no later than two weeks before the tournament, and a final roster by the Passport Control meeting prior to the start of tournament.
