Three separate competitions took place: the Senior Pool, the Junior Pool (Under-21 years of age a.k.a. U21), and the President's Pool.[7][4] Exhibition games were also contested.[6] Two Finland U18 teams competed against the 2022 Sweden Senior team and the 2022 USA Senior team in exhibition.
The Senior Pool is also known as the "Sam Jacks Pool" or "Sam Jacks Series". The Senior Pool involved two games between the 2022 Team Canada Seniors and the 2022 Team Finland Seniors.
The Senior Pool champions were decided using a point system: 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. In the event of a tie game, overtime was not to be allowed in the first game but was to be allowed in the second game. If the second game had resulted in a tie, the teams were to play a period of overtime which would have been considered its own game and would have started from 0-0. The first overtime period would have been 15 minutes long. If there was no clear winner, a sudden-death overtime period was to be played next.
The Junior Pool was played between the 2022 Canadian Junior national team and the 2022 Finland Junior national team. The competition was for players Under-21 (U21).
The Junior Pool was played in the same format as the WRC 2022 Senior Pool with two-games and possible overtime periods planned if the second game had resulted in a tie. Sudden-death overtime was to be played if the first overtime period resulted in a tie.
Three countries competed in the President's Pool: Team USA Senior, the Team Czech, and Team Sweden Senior. Each team played two games against each other. Teams collected points per game: a win was worth 2 points and a loss resulted in 0 points. If a game resulted in a tie, the game was planned to go into sudden-death overtime.
The winner of the first round advanced directly to the final. Second and third in the pool played in the playoffs where the winner there faced the winner of the first round in the final. The winner of the final was the winner of the President's Pool and was awarded with the President's Pool gold medal and the President's Trophy.
