1. Slovaks
2. Czechs
3. Americans (mainly for their Slovak player)

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

In the "chamipionship"?

 

[peconcan]

Canada and then the Leafs prospects on other teams

I voted Canada of course, but my son on the other hand is all Russia. We are of Ukrainian descent and at a young age, he had heard that the Ukraine used to be a part of the old Soviet Union, so naturally he took that as he is part Russian (which he may very well be). He’s also a massive Caps fan, and Ov is his favourite player so that helps. I hate it, and it has caused a wee bit of animosity over the years (all in good fun of course) but it is what it is. He’s a kid that likes to go against the grain. Im just sick of having to explain to people as to why my son is decked out in Russian gear at this time of the year lol

Hoping for Slovakia to take the gold. This year or the next. Maybe both.

That would also be better for hockey in general as a sport.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I’m cheering for Germany to avoid relegation - does that count?

 

[BigBadBoar]

Our Czech guys of course. Whoever makes it to develop into a top player despite all the obstacles put in their way by the terrible and corrupted Czech youth hockey environs deserves a huge credit.

 

[holy]

Kaiden Guhle.

BOTH?! You greedy bastard!

 

[Raleighpig]

I rooting for my ABC's. Anybody but Canada.

[hockey20000]

Canada

Well, I'm not Slovakian so eh

There have not been many countries winning it for the last 10 years. Finland, USA and Canada.

That in itself is a big improvement in terms parity compared to when it was just Canada and the Soviets and they would each go on lenghty runs of dominance. Sweden honestly needs to step up in this tournament.

No. Please vote again

Sweden has had great success on preliminary rounds though.

And the trend past 10 years for Finland has been gold or nothing (except the last year's bronze).

 

[FinPanda]

Finland and only Finland.

If Finland doesn'ät win idm who wins.

 

[Harbessix]

Canada or Sweden. Dream scenario is Canada wins gold and William Eklund leads the tournament in scoring.

 

[THE JAM]

Northern Estonia (also known as Finland/Winland)

 

[The Moose is Loose]

USA baby

 

[Yozhik v tumane]

Well, Sweden, and I’ll be keeping an eye on my boy Jesper Wallstedt in net.

I’ll also root for Finland’s Olli Nikupeteri and Czech Jakub Brabenec, son of Kamil who played for us in Luleå when Jakub was conceived!

 

[Three On Zero]

Canada first and foremost, but underdog teams that deploy a very stringent system have a soft spot in my heart

 

[M2Beezy]

Never understood the notion of cheering for the country where your from. If I felt the most exciting players were from some other place Id cheer for that place, Im not sworn to cheer for the place where I for some reason I was born in. The more I look into it the more I find nationalists to be of the bozo variety

Some years I cheer for Finland, some years Slovakia, but this year motherf***ing Russia
