Canada, which has won 25 of the 29 gold medals in the Cup, cruised to a pair of pre-tournament wins last week, beating Hungary 7-1 on Thursday and coming back with a 7-0 victory over Slovakia on Saturday. Defenseman Keaton Verhoeff, projected as a top defenseman for the 2026 NHL draft, leads the Canadians, along with Landon DuPont, projected as the top pick in 2027.

Finland placed seventh of the eight teams in Edmonton last year, gaining its only win over Switzerland in the seventh-place game. The Finns have a pair of defensemen from their fifth-place squad at the U18 World Championships held in Texas in April, with Juho Piiparinen and Sami Alalauri. The forwards are led by Oscar Hemming, who scored 35 goals and 63 points in 31 games for Kiekko-Espoo last season.

Group A includes Canada, Czechia, Finland and Switzerland and will play in Brno while Group B (Germany, Slovakia, Sweden and the United States) skates in Trencin, Slovakia.
