Group A

Russia (1)
Belarus (8)
Slovakia (9)
Kazakhstan (18)

Group B

Canada (2)
Switzerland (7)
Latvia (10)
Italy (15)

Group C

Czech Republic (6)
Norway (11)
France (14)

Group D

Finland (4)
United States (5)
Germany (12)
Denmark (13)

Preliminary Round

Sixteen participating teams were placed in the following four groups. After playing a round-robin, the top three teams in each group advance to the Qualifying Round. The last team in each group competes in the Relegation Round.

Groups A and D play in Cologne, with one game in Gelsenkirchen, and groups B and C play in Mannheim.
