Norway vs Austria 2022 IIHF WC 6

The 2022 Men's Ice Hockey World Championships was the 85th such event hosted by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). Teams were participating in several levels of competition. The competition also served as qualifications for division placements in the 2023 competition.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, only teams in the Championship division had participated in 2021, so the standard system of promotion and relegation between divisions and groups was not implemented; for 2022, each team remained at the level they had been assigned for the 2021 competition (due to the pandemic, this was actually a carry-over of the outcome of the 2019 competition).

On February 28, 2022, the IIHF suspended Top Division teams Russia and Belarus from the tournament due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine[1] and replaced them with Division I sides France and Austria.[2] As a result, multiple teams in lower divisions were promoted to fill vacancies.
