Notes
- Usually a tournament far down the chain like this means teams are taking players from within their country to the tournament. Only New Zealand's Daniel Monk is playing outside his native country (he's playing in Australia).
- Just like the players are all in-house, the staffs are as well. Only exceptions are Oleg Gorbenko (Russian, he played on the Amur Khabarovsk team that played a few games in the WCHL in 1996-97) and Keith Adams (American, he was head coach for the ECHL Carolina Thunderbirds in 1988-89 for one game)
- Oldest team: China, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa (average age is 18)
- Youngest team: Turkey (average age is 17)
- Lightest team: Turkey (148lbs)
- Heaviest team: New Zealand (170lbs)
- Shortest team: Turkey (5'8")
- Tallest team: China, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa (5'10")
- I don't think I have another pun in me...(Jamie) Orr do I?
1 (promotion) - New Zealand
2 - China
3 - Turkey
4 - Mexico
5 - South Africa
New Zealand looks to be steadily improving, and this year they might be able to take the top spot. China was relegated last year, and will be challenging for the promotion. Turkey and Mexico are more likely to be battling for the bronze. South Africa isn't expected to be much of a challenge in this tournament.
