Notes
- A few NHL connections in this tournament. Sami Helenius is the head coach of Estonia while Richard Park is an assistant coach with South Korea.
- For OHL fans, former Guelph Storm Bo Subr is an assistant coach for the Netherlands.
- I won't go on a huge diatribe about this, but it is disappointing that Daniel Sprong elected to try and go for Canada (he probably won't make it when he's eligible) and not go for his home country, the Netherlands. It's his call and he's free to choose what country to represent, it would have been nice though to see a player in his situation go with the weaker hockey nation and build them up through the ranks.
- One of the goalies cut from Lithuania (Germantas Juskaitis) plays high school hockey in Dartmouth.
- Oldest team: South Korea (average age is 19)
- Youngest team: Estonia (average age is 17)
- Lightest team: South Korea (163lbs)
- Heaviest team: tie, Great Britain and the Netherlands (176lbs)
- Shortest team: South Korea (5'10")
- Tallest team: Estonia, Great Britain, Lithuania, and the Netherlands (6'0")
- When (Byung Jun) Bae makes the South Korean team...(even I'm booing myself for that).
1 (Promoted) - Great Britain
2 - Lithuania
3 - Estonia
4 - South Korea
5 - Netherlands
6 (Relegated) - Romania
Great Britain is coming off being relegated so there is a good chance they make it through. I struggle with the seeding of Lithuania and Estonia. In the end I decided to put Lithuania at two and Estonia at three. I expect a bump for South Korea. As they host the Olympics in a couple years, I see them continue to climb and avoid going back to Group B. Netherlands probably take a step back and end up in fifth. I'm not confident in Romania staying up, they will be relegated to Group B.
