The standings below were taken from before today, day eight’s, action:
Sweden at the very bottom and Canada with only one win? It seems as if the entire hockey paradigm has been shifted in this weird, relegation-less World Championships this year. Fortunately for those two teams, however, they did win in the early games on day eight, with Sweden beating Great Britain and Canada defeating Kazakhstan.
Current holders (from 2019), Finland, find themselves above Germany after beat Italy yesterday, though the surprises of the tournament so far, Kazakhstan and Latvia, are still in the running.
