Due to a positive Covid test result, the entire Swiss U20 national team has been in quarantine since Thursday. The only World Cchampionship preparation game against the Czech Republic had to be canceled. On Christmas Day, the team was able to end the quarantine and start training again. The final World Championship squad will be announced on Sunday, December 26th.

 

A player from the Swiss U20 national team has been tested positive for Covid-19 on Thursday, December 23. The entire team then had to go into quarantine, which is why Switzerland's only World Cup preparatory game against the Czech Republic, scheduled for Thursday, could not take place. Head coach Marco Bayer's team was able to leave the quarantine on Christmas Day, December 25th, and resume training. Two players remain in isolation.

2		CAN	Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmas time
3		FIN	We’re the best at jumping into frozen lakes
4		SWE	Yay! No more round-robin win streak!
5		RUS	Our coach is more famous than your coach
6		CZE	We call Edmonton “Mrazektown”
7		GER	“Hi Leon! Can you shave and get a fake ID?”
8		SVK	Experts predict another bronze medal in 2031
9		SUI	Losing the final to Sweden would be lovely
10		AUT	Can we go to the West Edmonton Mall?

Fresh News !

 

No team will be relegated this year ! Next year tournament will be played with 11 teams .

 

No team relegated at World Juniors

 

The IIHF Council has voted that no team will be relegated from the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship that will begin today in Edmonton and Red Deer, Canada to safeguard the sportive integrity of the competition in the light of the extraordinary Covid-related circumstances.

Due to Belarus gaining promotion after winning the 2022 IIHF Ice Hockey U20 World Championship Division I Group A earlier this month, the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship will be played with 11 teams with the aim of going back to 10 teams for the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship.

The IIHF will start discussions concerning the logistical implementation of hosting 11 teams at the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship in Novosibirsk and Omsk, Russia with the organizing committee.

The task of creating an 11-team format and game schedule has been given to the IIHF Competition Committee along with any other implications for the 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey U20 World Championship program.

Absolutely no idea, which format you need to have a 11 team tournament  

 

They want to return to 10 team tourney the next year 2024 so 2 teams will have to be relegated next year I assume, but how about the format ? Just hope they are not going to implement some pre-round and main round with top seeded nations or something like that...

 

 

Meanwhile already 3-0 against
