Participants

1 Pursuant to a December 2020 ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on doping sanctions, Russian athletes and teams are prohibited from competing under the Russian flag or using the Russian national anthem at any Olympic Games or world championships through 16 December 2022, and must compete as "neutral athlete[s]."[3] For IIHF tournaments, the Russian team will play under the name "ROC".[4] Instead of the Russian national anthem being played at the 2021 World Championship, Piano Concerto No.1 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was played.[5] Russia was expelled on 1 March 2022 due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[6]
2 Sweden replaced Russia.[7]
