The Swedish national team at the World Cup-2024 broke a four-year streak without medals at the world championships by winning bronze medals, but at the home World Cup-2025 Tre Kronor clearly aren't planning to stop at third place. So, they've got a pretty strong team together, with most of the players being from the NHL.
Even before the World Championship kicked off, the Yellow and Blue were on fire at the Euro Hockey Tour, trouncing the Swiss 2-1, the Czechs 4-2, and the Finns 6-2. In the first match at the 2025 World Cup, Sam Hallam's team made life tough for the Slovaks, beating them 5-0, and Jakob Markström got his first clean sheet of the tournament.
Austria
At the last World Cup, the Austrian national team realised that they could not only fight to stay in the top division, but also qualify for the playoffs. The Reds and Whites were super close to the quarter-finals, but unfortunately lost to the unmotivated Great Britain 2-4 in the last game of the group stage.
The Austrians aren't in the best shape for the start of the 2025 World Cup. In 2025, they played 11 friendlies, winning only one of them, beating the Czechs in overtime 4-3. But in the first match in Stockholm, the Eagles put up a good fight against the Finnish national team, even though they ended up losing 1-2.
