2022 IIHF World Junior Championship
The 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship was postponed in December due to an outbreak of COVID-19. The tournament will restart on August 9th in Edmonton, Alberta and will conclude with the gold and bronze medal games on August 20th.
Nine out of 10 teams that competed in the earlier event will be back, including Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. The team from Russia was excluded because of that nation’s invasion of Ukraine, and Latvia will take its place in Group A.
Follow the progress of the tournament with the fixture list and results, as well as squads for all 10 nations.
