The Canadians took second place in their group, although, like the Finns, they lost two games at the tournament in Tampere and Riga.

Although it is difficult to choose a favorite in this meeting, Canada are considered to be the potential underdogs. Nevertheless, the national team can boast that no less than six of the last seven editions of the competition have ended with a performance in the final.
