In last year’s tournament Canada made it to the semifinals, but fell to Switzerland (3-2) and lost again to Sweden (4-2) in the bronze medal game. Before those two losses Canada was undefeated, winning all five of its group play games and in the quarterfinals.

For Slovenia, it was not in the tournament last year. They enter this year as the 19th seed in the tournament, last overall between the two groups. Slovenia qualified by winning promotion out of the 2024 IIHF World Championship Division I along with Hungary. 

In that tournament Slovenia finished in second place overall behind Hungary with a 3-2 record. They started that tournament with a loss, but were able to string together three straight wins to earn Slovenia a spot in the 2025 IIHF World Championship as the final entry. Slovenia has never finished on the podium with a medal in this event.
