Great Britain suffered a crushing 6-0 defeat to Latvia in Zurich, leading to their relegation from the top division of the Ice Hockey World Championship. Despite a promising start, GB failed to capitalize on their opportunities, with key players such as Liam Kirk, David Clements, and Brett Perlini having their shots saved.

Latvia opened the scoring with a goal from Martins Dzierkals at close range. They quickly built on this lead with additional goals from Deniss Smirnovs and Rudolfs Balcers.

The second period saw Latvia maintain their dominance, scoring three more times through:

• Eduards Tralmaks
• Haralds Egle
• Renars Krastenbergs
  This left the game at 6-0 before a scoreless final period.

This defeat marked Great Britain's sixth loss in the tournament, leaving them winless as they prepare for their final group match against Germany on Monday. Meanwhile, Latvia kept their quarter-final hopes alive and will face Hungary in their last group game on Tuesday.
