2024 IIHF World Championships Top Five Contenders

.

Canada

Canada, as the defending champions and the most successful team in IIHF history, remains the top favorite to win the 2024 IIHF World Championship with odds in their favor. Canada is the most successful country at the men's ice hockey world championships in terms of the number of medals won. Team Canada claimed gold at the 2023 World Championships to bring their total medal tally to 53. They will be boosted by their forwards. Connor Bedard, Adam Fantilli, and Macklin Celebrini will be part of a young Canadian squad looking to defend its gold medal at this year's world men's hockey championship.

.

USA

The USA is considered the second-top contender to win the 2024 IIHF World Championship based on the betting odds offered by the bookmakers. Historically, the United States has earned 13 podium finishes, including one gold medal (1933), four silver medals in 1950, 1939, 1934, and 1931, and eight bronze medals in 2021, 2018, 2015, 2013, 2004, 1996, 1952, and 1949. The U.S. has medaled in four of the last eight IIHF Men's World Championships, its best medal stretch since 1931–47. The team should be boosted by seven-time All-Star forward Johnny Gaudreau, five-time All-Star defenseman Seth Jones, and two-time All-Star defenseman Zach Werenski. 

.

Sweden

Sweden has an impressive team that could potentially lead them to victory. Keep an eye out for players like Marcus Pettersson and Erik Karlsson, as they are key factors that can help Sweden pursue back-to-back wins, as they did in the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

.

Finland

Finland is demonstrating its readiness and determination to claim victory in the IIHF World Championship battle. Historically, Finland secured the championship in 2022 and came in second to Canada in terms of IIHF success. Finland is eager to reclaim its crown in 2024. Finland enters the IIHF World Championships in incredible winning form, having won 12 of their last 13 matches. Finland is considered the fourth favorite to win the 2024 IIHF World Championship based on the odds offered by bookmakers. 

.

Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is set to reawaken its national pride and boost its self-confidence by winning the 2024 IHF Ice Hockey Championship following its triumph at the Olympic Games. The Czech Republic has a strong historical record in ice hockey history, winning the World Championship three times in a row between 1999 and 2001. Recently, the Czechs went on to win gold medals in 2005 and 2010. They are considered the five contenders to win the 2024 IHF Ice Hockey Championship based on bookmaker odds.
