Power rankings see Canada on top, followed in order by Russia, Sweden, Finalnd, Czech Republic and then finally, USA.Team rosters can be found here.

The preliminary rounds start today as two groups, H (Helinski) and S (Stockholm) square off. Group H has both Canada and the USA while Group S has Russia and Sweden.
