Austria
In the previous World Championship, the Austrians narrowly escaped relegation and managed to retain their spot in the elite division. In the final match of the group stage, they defeated Hungary in a shootout, edging them in the standings. Austria does not have any representatives from the top hockey league in the world. Eight players from the Red Bull Salzburg team play for Austria.
The Austrians played only one friendly match before the World Championship, losing 1-5 to Canada in a game on May 5th. Austria's highest achievement in World Championships is gold medals in 1931 and 1947.
Denmark
The Danes performed better in last year's World Championship. The team fought for a playoff spot until the last matches but failed to reach the quarterfinals. In seven games, Denmark collected eight points, securing the fifth position in the group. Like Austria, Denmark does not have representatives in the National Hockey League, but most players compete in strong leagues such as the Swedish Elitserien or the German DEL. In preparation for this year's tournament, Denmark played against Poland on May 7th and won 3-1.
