Latvia’s never placed higher than seventh at a real-life IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, but at these Virtual Worlds, anything is possible. The Latvians defeated mighty Canada in their quarter-final, and they remain on top of the Power Rankings. The Czechs hold down second and the Finns stay third.
