How does the World Juniors of Hockey IIHF Tournament structure work?

The World Juniors of Hockey IIHF Tournament, which is hosted by the International Ice Hockey Federation, is an annual international ice hockey tournament for players under the age of 20, and has been held annually since 1974.

The tournament is divided into two divisions:

  • Division IA - The top eight teams in the world compete for the gold medal.
  • Division IB - The next twelve best teams in the world compete for the right to move up to Division IA and compete for a gold medal.

The tournament is a round-robin format, with each team playing every other team in its division once. The top four teams in each division advance to the playoff round, where they play in a single-elimination tournament to determine the champion.

The tournament is a major event in the international ice hockey calendar and is a great opportunity for young players to represent their countries and compete against the best players in the world.
