In addition to the Netherlands, Italy, Austria and Germany, which are far higher in the world rankings, took part in this qualification, the winner of which Austria qualified for the 2014 Olympic ice hockey tournament. Previously, the Netherlands had prevailed in the pre-qualification against the favored Hungarians 6: 5 after penalty shootouts as well as the selections of Lithuania and Croatia and in this way achieved the nomination for the final tournament. At the tournament in Bietigheim, the Dutch selection lost all three games, but with quite respectable results given the performance gap in this group.
