Switzerland

The Swiss team has brought in some very talented players representing the National Hockey League. Three representatives from the New Jersey Devils will play for their national team: Akira Schmid, Jonas Siegenthaler, and Nico Hischier. Additionally, Switzerland will be aided by Nino Niederreiter from the Winnipeg Jets. During the preparation for the tournament, Switzerland played three games: they won once and lost twice. Their highest achievement in recent years is three silver medals, with the last one in 2018, when they lost to Sweden 3-2 in a shootout.

Norway

One of the clear underdogs of the current Ice Hockey World Championship, Norway has only brought one representative from the NHL - Mats Zuccarello, who is already 36 years old. They played two preparation games for the World Championship, winning one against Latvia 1-0 in overtime, but losing the next one to the same Latvian team 0-8. Norway's highest achievement in the World Championships is a fourth-place finish, which they achieved back in 1951.
