Tournament Format
The World Cup of Hockey begins with a round-robin schedule, with each team playing the three opponents in its pool. All teams qualify for single-elimination quarterfinal games.
Quarterfinal games are played within each pool, with the first-place team facing the fourth-place team, and the second-place team against the third-place team.
The pools cross over for semifinal games, to be played September 10th in St. Paul and September 11 in Toronto.
The championship game will be played September 14 in Toronto.

Final rosters will consist of 23 skaters and three goaltenders. Teams will dress 18 skaters and two goalies for each game.
