The United States won their fifth consecutive and ninth overall title after a shootout win over Finland.[5] Canada claimed the bronze medal by defeating Russia 7–0.[6]

After the 2017 tournament, it was announced that tournament would expand to ten teams for 2019, having been played with eight teams since the first tournament in 1990, except in 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2009, where nine teams played. The 2004 edition featured nine teams when Japan was promoted from Division II but no team was relegated from the top division in 2003, due to the cancellation of the top division tournament in China because of the outbreak of the SARS disease.[4] Two teams were relegated from the top division in 2004, going back to eight teams for 2005, but due to the success of the 9-team pool in 2004, IIHF decided to expand again to nine teams for 2007.[7] Reverting to eight teams after the 2009 tournament.[8] To bring the tournament to ten teams, Czech Republic which had lost the 2017 Relegation Round, stayed in the top division. Joined by Division I Group A Champions, Japan (2017) and France (2018)

Controversy edit

During the final between the United States and Finland, it appeared Finland had won 2–1 in overtime after a game-winning goal to win its first World Championship.[12] However, Finland celebrated on the ice before the Video Goal Judge initiated a video review. The goal was reviewed for over ten minutes and eventually overturned. The IIHF released a press statement the next day citing rules 186 and 183ii as the reasons for overturning the goal.[13] The United States went on to defeat Finland 2–1 in shootout. It was later announced that Finnish Ice Hockey Association would pay the Finnish team the bonus allotted for winning a gold medal, instead of the silver medal bonus.[14]

Notes:
  1. ^ Sweden were originally supposed to be relegated to Division I A, but that was not played in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, Sweden were supposed to play in the 2022 Division I A, but in the end they remained in the Top Division as a substitute for the expelled Russia.
