Teams representing 32 countries participated in several levels of competition, with an additional six national teams failing to advance from mid-season preliminary qualifying tournaments. The competition also served as qualifications for group placements in the 1994 competition. The top Championship Group A tournament took place in Germany from 18 April to 2 May 1993, with games played in Munich and Dortmund. Twelve teams took part, with the first round being split into two groups of six, with the four best teams from each group advancing to the quarter-finals. Russia beat the reigning world champions Sweden to win the World Championships for the first time since entering competition after the dissolution of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991.Podnieks pg.15. Note that the IIHF encyclopedia does not group Russian and Soviet Union medals in ice hockey, however their writers often do, which would make this their 23rd title. The bronze medal was won by the Czech Republic, defeating Canada in their first major tournament as an independent country after their split with Slovakia at the beginning of the calendar year. While Latvia had last competed in 1939, this year marked the World Championship debut of three national teams. Kazakhstan, Slovenia, and Ukraine, played for the first time, in Group C. Belarus, Croatia, Estonia, and Lithuania all did not make it out of the autumn qualifiers and had to wait at least another year. Also waiting until the following year was Slovakia, who made their World Championship debut in Group C1 in 1994. The official mascot of this tournament was Bully the penguin. Eleven of the twelve openings for the Lillehammer Olympics were established in Group A. Switzerland, by being relegated, was excluded, and the final nation had to qualify in a tournament the next fall. The top two teams from Group B, the Group C champion, the top Asian nation, and Slovakia all were given the opportunity to fill the final vacancy.Olympic qualifier World Championship Group A (Germany) First round Group 1 main WDL QR 2 CAN CAN SWE SWE RUS RUS 1991 ITA ITA SUI SUI AUT AUT 5 0 0 31 4 3 0 2 17 14 2 1 2 15 12 1 2 2 8 20 2 0 3 11 14 0 1 4 4 22 #CCFFCC A A A A red1 R R complete #EEEEEE 18 April ITA 2–2 RUS 1991 Munich #EEEEEE 18 April SWE 1–0 AUT Munich #EEEEEE 19 April CAN 2–0 SUI Munich #EEEEEE 19 April RUS 1991 4–2 AUT Munich #EEEEEE 20 April SWE 1–4 CAN Munich #EEEEEE 20 April SUI 0–1 ITA Munich #EEEEEE 21 April ITA 2–6 SWE Munich #EEEEEE 22 April SUI 0–6 RUS 1991 Munich #EEEEEE 22 April AUT 0–11 CAN Munich #EEEEEE 23 April SUI 5–1 AUT Munich #EEEEEE 24 April RUS 1991 2–5 SWE Munich #EEEEEE 24 April CAN 11–2 ITA Munich #EEEEEE 25 April SWE 4–6 SUI Munich #EEEEEE 25 April CAN 3–1 RUS 1991 Munich #EEEEEE 26 April ITA 1–1 AUT Munich Group 2 thumb|right|Germany against Finland main WDL QR 2 CZE CZE GER GER USA USA FIN FIN NOR NOR FRA FRA 4 1 0 17 4 4 0 1 20 12 2 2 1 14 10 2 1 2 7 7 1 0 4 6 17 0 0 5 10 24 #CCFFCC A A A A red1 R R complete #EEEEEE 18 April GER 6–0 NOR Dortmund #EEEEEE 18 April USA 1–1 CZE Dortmund #EEEEEE 19 April FIN 2–0 FRA Dortmund #eeeeee 19 April GER 0–5 CZE Dortmund #EEEEEE 20 April FIN 1–1 USA Dortmund #EEEEEE 21 April GER 5–3 FRA Dortmund #EEEEEE 21 April CZE 2–0 NOR Dortmund #EEEEEE 22 April USA 6–1 FRA Dortmund #EEEEEE 22 April NOR 0–2 FIN Dortmund #EEEEEE 23 April GER 3–1 FIN Dortmund #EEEEEE 23 April CZE 6–2 FRA Dortmund #EEEEEE 24 April USA 3–1 NOR Dortmund #EEEEEE 25 April FIN 1–3 CZE Dortmund #EEEEEE 25 April GER 6–3 USA Dortmund #EEEEEE 26 April FRA 4–5 NOR Dortmund Playoff round N8 yes high yes Quarterfinals Semifinals Final Third place 27 April SWE 5 USA 2 28 April CZE 8 ITA 1 28 April CAN 5 FIN 1 27 April GER 1 RUS 1991 5 30 April SWE (OT) 4 CZE 3 30 April CAN 4 RUS 1991 7 2 May SWE 1 RUS 1991 3 1 May CZE 5 CAN 1 Quarterfinals #EEEEEE 27 April SWE 5–2 USA Munich #EEEEEE 27 April GER 1–5 RUS 1991 Munich #EEEEEE 28 April CAN 5–1 FIN Munich #EEEEEE 28 April CZE 8–1 ITA Munich Consolation round 9–12 place #EEEEEE 29 April SUI 1–3 FRA Munich #EEEEEE 29 April NOR 2–6 AUT Munich Semifinals #EEEEEE 30 April SWE 4–3 (OT) CZE Munich #EEEEEE 30 April CAN 4–7 RUS 1991 Munich Consolation round 11–12 place #EEEEEE 1 May SUI 2–5 NOR Munich Switzerland was relegated to the Group B.

The British team, just promoted from Group C, won all their games. Their first game was won by either keen strategy, or controversy, depending on how you view it. With the score against tournament favorite Poland tied three all, the British coach, Alex Dampier, asked the referee to measure the opposing goalie's stick. It was found to be illegal, and Great Britain scored the winning goal on the ensuing powerplay.Summary at Passionhockey.com main WDL QR 2 13 GBR GBR POL POL NED NED DEN DEN JPN JPN ROU ROU CHN CHN BUL BUL 7 0 0 50 13 6 0 1 71 12 5 0 2 47 20 4 0 3 38 24 3 0 4 34 31 2 0 5 20 44 1 0 6 12 79 0 0 7 9 58 #ccffcc A red1 R complete Great Britain was promoted to the Group A while Bulgaria was relegated to the Group C. #EEEEEE 25 March POL 3–4 GBR #EEEEEE 25 March DEN 5–1 BUL #EEEEEE 25 March JPN 8–1 ROU #EEEEEE 25 March NED 15–1 CHN #EEEEEE 26 March CHN 1–21 POL #EEEEEE 26 March NED 4–2 ROU #EEEEEE 27 March DEN 0–4 GBR #EEEEEE 27 March BUL 1–7 JPN #EEEEEE 28 March POL 13–0 ROU #EEEEEE 28 March JPN 4–5 GBR #EEEEEE 28 March NED 14–0 BUL #EEEEEE 29 March ROU 5–3 CHN #EEEEEE 29 March POL 7–3 DEN #EEEEEE 30 March GBR 10–0 BUL #EEEEEE 30 March DEN 13–0 CHN #EEEEEE 30 March NED 5–3 JPN #EEEEEE 31 March BUL 2–13 POL #EEEEEE 31 March NED 2–3 GBR #EEEEEE 1 April ROU 3–4 DEN #EEEEEE 1 April CHN 3–8 JPN #EEEEEE 2 April JPN 1–7 POL #EEEEEE 2 April NED 6–4 DEN #EEEEEE 3 April GBR 10–4 ROU #EEEEEE 3 April CHN 4–3 BUL #EEEEEE 4 April JPN 3–9 DEN #EEEEEE 4 April NED 1–7 POL #EEEEEE 4 April BUL 2–5 ROU #EEEEEE 4 April GBR 14–0 CHN World Championship Group C (Slovenia) Qualifying round All qualifiers were played from 6 to 8 November 1992.
