Each of the four teams played once against each other team. The team with the most points won the gold medal.

The tournament was the same as qualification for the ice hockey tournament of the 1998 Winter Olympics in the Japanese Nagano . Since Japan, as the host of the games, was automatically set for the Olympic ice hockey tournament, the three games without Japanese participation served as Group D of the regional pre-qualification. Only the winner reached the final qualification.
