Promotion and Relegation Picture
Division XII
- Argentina and Oman both doomed to relegation to newly-forming Division XIII in 2023. Argentina can still finish ahead of Oman in the standings, especially given that Oman's last match is against Botswana, but that requires them to beat Asturias.
- With Botswana playing Oman and likely to win as a result, Jamaica must beat Crimea to clinch promotion. It can be in overtime, as Jamaica has already beaten Botswana (3-1 on opening day).
- In spite of two overtime wins, Abkhazia can still finish first and earn promotion by beating Azerbaijan in regulation.
- Kuwait can theoretically catch Nokhchynya by beating them, but with how the two teams have been playing respectively, more or less all non-Arab hockey pundits are calling a Nokhchynyan win and Kuwaiti relegation.
- There is the possibility of a three-way deadlock in points should Montenegro beat Armenia and Greece beat the Malays, both in regulation. That would give all three teams 12 points and it would then go to three-way head-to-head, then goal differential, then head-to-head amongst goal differential-equal teams, then finally goals for as a tiebreak. (It is more or less impossible at this point for the last of these to be even between any two teams in this group! ) If the Armenia-Montenegro match goes to overtime, Armenia wins the group regardless of result.
- It is winner-stays-up between the Xhosa Republic and Alania.
- Another possibility of three-way gridlock here. Buryatia must beat Thailand and Portugal must beat KwaZulu, both in regulation. If the Buryatia-Thailand match goes to overtime, Thailand wins the group regardless of result.
- Winner-stays-up match between Chile and Taiwan.
- The teams playing in Divisions VIII, VII, and VI are starting to arrive in Novi Sad, Vojvodina, Pamplona-Iruña, Euskadi, and Salt Lake City, Utah respectively!
- Omani defenceman Omar Maghoub said landing a big clean hit on someone as opposed to taking a dirty hit himself "felt good," as he dumped Crimean starting winger Filip Bogomolov with a perfectly-timed hip check in the second period, which got the typically docile Omani crowd fired right up!
- Crimea's Yuri Roshchin found his wallet a little lighter as he was fined €300 for his remarks about Thabo Molefi to an interviewer. He also saw limited game time against Oman. Apparently Crimean head coach Andriy Karpenko has had enough of him complaining to the press about being singled out.
- On the topic of head coaches, Abkhazia's head coach, the Estonian legend Toivo Suursoo, has said that Abkhazia's overtime game against Uzbekistan "had a few key errors that they cannot repeat" against Azerbaijan.
- Apparently Stan Valenzuela was tempted to score more than just the five he did against Kuwait, but he held back because he "didn't want to seem like a stat-padding <redacted>." Kuwait head coach Vadim Sharifijanov expressed a degree of gratitude for this, saying "Valenzuela could easily have scored ten, if not more."
- Greece will play its closer against the Malays without defenceman Nikolaos Xanthopoulos, who was double-checked by Minas Tenkerian and Eduard Malakyan and suffered a torn right rotor cuff. IIHF Disciplinary Chief Scott Stevens agreed with the call on the ice and stated that no further discipline was necessary - "It wasn't deliberately dirty, but it was a bit rough and a bit late by Malakyan, so the referee made the right decision to assess a roughing minor." Xanthopoulos bears the two no ill will, although he did admit that he was quite annoyed with Malakyan when it happened.
- Alanian head coach Vladimir Artyomov was not happy with his team's performance against Montenegro, calling it "half-hearted nonsense." In spite of getting 22 shots on goal, the quality of the shots was quite low.
- Buryatia third-liner Tsyrengalsan Dashidorzhov is likely to be suspended for at least three games for clipping Taiwanese star Weng To, who will now miss the latter's closer against Chile with a twisted ankle.
