The list of teams that have been confirmed for the tournament are as listed:[1]

The division of the six teams into two groups of three and the subsequent schedule were determined on 24 August 2012.[2]

Due to the ongoing 2012–13 NHL lockout, some of the teams' rosters were bolstered by the presence of locked-out NHL players, with many of them joining Team Canada.[3]
