The Canadian national team has reached the World Cup finals again. For the fourth championship in a row, the Maple Leafs will play in the main match of the tournament. Although, during the 2023 World Cup, there were serious doubts that they would get that far. Canada looked traditionally modest at the group stage, so they took only second place and immediately met with the Finns. The rivalry with the current world champions did not bother the Canadians. They achieved success without any problems - 4:1. However, in the semifinals against the Latvians, the Canadian team always had to win back, losing – 0:1, then – 1:2, but in the third period, they still made a decisive breakthrough, winning – 4:2.

The German national team has reached the World Cup final for the first time in 89 years! The Germans showed phenomenal progress at the 2023 World Cup, starting with three consecutive defeats. However, instead of stopping playing and preparing for the next World Championship, they got up, won four games in the group stage, reached the playoffs, and began to work new miracles. To start with, the wards of Harold Kreis unexpectedly beat the Swiss – 3:1. Then they were close to failing the Americans in the semifinals, but they balanced 83 seconds before the end of the third period, and in overtime, they made a beautiful goal and won – 4:3.

The German national team reached the World Cup playoffs for the first time in 89 years, and the Canadian national team took part in the main game at the last three championships in a row. The Maple Leafs have much more experience in such important matches, making them favorites of the upcoming competition. This argument is significant. The final of the 2018 Olympics, where the Germans needed more to win. 

The confrontation between the national teams of Canada and Germany has historically been rich in pucks. In the last 12 meetings, the competitors have scored 83 goals against each other (6.92 on average per game), which is a very high result for such a long distance. The Canadians won against the Latvians - 4:2, and the Germans were stronger than the Americans – 4:3.
