Canada won their tenth title by defeating the United States 5–4 in overtime. Caroline Ouellette scored the decisive goal.[1] The Swiss team, by finishing third, captured their first ever Women's World Championship medal.[2]
Top Division
The Top Division was contested between eight teams from April 7 to April 14, 2012. The event was hosted by USA Hockey in Burlington, Vermont. A new format was used where the top four ranked teams were placed in Group A and were automatically qualified for the final round, and played in the preliminary round was only used to determine seeding for the next round. The top two teams received a bye into the semifinals. Meanwhile, the next four teams played the preliminary round in Group B. The top two teams from Group B joined the others for the final round, while the bottom two team played a best-of-three series, with the loser being relegated next year.[3]
