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.

    Player selection
    Note: The following guidelines were announced in December, 2003, replacing previous player selection criteria.

  • Each country must name 18 members of its team by mid-May, 2004 (an exact date is to be announced). The complete team must be appointed by June 20.
  • Final rosters will consist of 23 skaters and three goaltenders. Teams will dress 18 skaters and two goalies for each game. Update: As of March 23/04, the rule that each country must carry three players under the age of 22 has been dropped.
