McIntyre is serving in his third IIHF Men's World Championship, while Mayer is participating in his second tournament. Ritter will be making his debut at this particular event.

“We're pleased that these three individuals have been selected to officiate at this event and represent USA Hockey on the international stage,” said Matt Leaf, director of USA Hockey’s officiating education program. “They have earned this opportunity to join the group of officials who are already working at the highest level this season.”
