Group B

[edit]

In China's world championships debut, they took a 2–1 lead over Italy into the first intermission, but in the second period things got much more one sided as China would score 3 in the second and 5 in the third to win their worlds debut 10–1. Yifeng Shen lead the way with 5 goals for China.[5] In the second game of Group B. Germany and Norway played a back and forth game. After Germany took a 4–1 lead early in the third, Norway scored 2 goals in 2 minutes to cut the lead to one but the Germans would add an empty netter and win 5–3.[6] China would keep rolling in their debut tournament with a 5–1 win over Norway with 2 goals from Shen giving him 7 in 2 games. Italy and Germany played in the closest game in the tournament yet as they went back and forth. regulation and 5 minutes of overtime solved nothing but in the shootout the Italians put in 2 for the 1–0 shootout win. China would finish the round robin with a perfect 3–0 record after beating Germany 7–0. Yifeng Shen had another 4 goals to give him 11 through 3 round robin games. In the final game of group B Italy got outshot greatly by Norway but still came way with a 3–1 win.

Pool C was held for the first time since 2018. The tournament was held for the first time in Asia, being organise in Bangkok, Thailand at the Thailand International Ice Hockey Arena.[12] The top two were promoted to the 2023 Pool B. Great Britain won the competition, winning every game.[13] Six teams were going to participate, before Armenia withdrew just before the tournament started. Had the Armenians entered, they would've made their Para Ice Hockey debut. This event saw the Para Ice Hockey debut of France, Kazakhstan and Thailand.

Each game was live streamed on the Paralympic Youtube channel.
