Teams participating

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]

Television

Several television channels around the world will cover many or all matches of the Spengler Cup. As well as most Swiss channels, here is a listing of who else will cover the tournament:

gollark: (it works with non-arrow functions, I just like these more)
gollark: Functions implicitly do it:```javascriptconst thing = () => { let v = 0 return () => { return v++ }}const incrementer = thing()console.log(incrementer())console.log(incrementer())```
gollark: The thing where functions capture their scope.
gollark: ```lualet otherTesting = [];for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { otherTesting[i] = function() { console.log(i); }}```does the same thing so I suppose it's just weirdness with closure in loops.
gollark: Er, 9, not 10.
