Norway, Italy, Slovakia, Germany, Sweden and Japan will all participate in a round-robin style tournament, playing five games each at the Eissporthalle am Glockenturm in the German capital.

The stadium holds up to 1,000 spectators and hosted the World Championships B-Pool in 2019.

Norway, Italy and Slovakia were the last three finishers at the World Championships A-Pool, while Germany and Sweden finished within the top three at the World Championships B-Pool to secure their place at the event in Berlin.

China, who automatically qualified for the Beijing 2022 Games as the host nation, decided not to use their allocation slot at the Qualification Tournament, meaning it was allocated to the next highest seeded team from the World Championships B-Pool, Japan.

Of the group, Norway are the most successful on the Paralympic stage with five medals, including gold at Nagano 1998.

Sweden has three medals with its best result coming at Lillehammer 1994 after beating Norway 1-0 to win gold.

Japan has one silver medal to its name which came at Vancouver 2010.

Italy has competed at the last four editions, while Germany has not participated since 2006 and Slovakia is looking to make its debut at the event.

The top two finishers from the Qualification Tournament will join the United States, Canada, Russian Paralympic Committee, South Korea, Czech Republic and China at Beijing 2022.

"We’ve seen some fantastic Para ice hockey matches at the A and B-Pool already this year, and we’re looking forward to continuing that momentum for the sport at the Paralympic Qualification Tournament in November," said World Para Ice Hockey manager Michelle Laflamme.

The ice hockey tournament at the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Games are set to take place from March 6 to 13 at the Beijing National Indoor Stadium.
