Ukraine won the 2018 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 World Championship Division I Group B on home ice in Kyiv and will for the first time since 2007 be among the top-16 ice hockey nations in an IIHF category next year.

Coming in as the fifth-seeded team, the Ukrainians were not among the natural favourites despite home-ice advantage in the Palace of Sports. But this time the juniors in yellow-and-blue left behind nations usually placed ahead of them and completed their run for gold with a 6-0 win against Romania in front of 5,000 fans.

It didn’t go that well from the very beginning. The Ukrainians lost the first game to Japan 1-0 on Taiga Abe’s third-period goal and with a 32-save shutout by Eiki Sato. But then the winning streak started.

On the second game the hosts won a key game against eventual runner-up Austria. The 5-3 victory in a game they were outshot 41-25 meant Ukraine had the advantage in the tie-breaker with Austria, which also had 12 points from four games with the only loss coming against Ukraine.

Austria held a 2-1 and 3-2 lead but Ukraine turned the game with three unanswered goals in the third frame. Two goals came from Hlib Krivoshabpin.

After victories against Hungary (4-3) and Italy (3-1) the Ukrainians were tied for first place with Austria and just needed to regulation-time win against last-ranked Romania. They got what they needed.

Austria recovered from the loss to Ukraine and also finished the tournament with a 3-1 record but couldn’t make up for the lost head-to-head game. With Dmytro Danylenko and Felix Morozov Ukraine had two players among the top-5 scorer. Danylenko was tied with Austria’s Benjamin Baumgartner, who also had thee goals and five assists.

Japan beat Italy 3-2 on the last day thanks to Taiki Takebe’s overtime winner to secure the bronze medals. Hungary finished fourth, Italy fifth and Romania will go down after fix mostly clear losses in the tournament.

For Ukraine the win is the biggest success in many years. It means a 17th-place finish overall in the U18 category and a top-16 spot for next year when Ukraine will compete in the Division I Group A and replace Slovenia. The last time the U18 team finished higher was in 2005 when it was 16th and the men’s and U20 national teams were among the top-16 in 2007.

Thanks, we are really pleasantly surprised by the results of the boys, to be honest it is a real surprise for us all, we did not expected that at all, because we knew that the last year team was much more stronger than this years one. and peoples were afraid prior the tournament if we´ll be even able to maintain in top division, but the kids revolted against the odds and are showing great team spirit and heart.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
    • Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.
    • I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

    • Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector
