The IIHF U18 World Championship is an annual event organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation for national under-18 ice hockey teams from around the world. The tournament is usually played in April and is organized according to a system similar to the Ice Hockey World Championships and the IIHF World Junior Championship. The tournament was first held in 1999.

History

[edit]

The United States leads the tournament with eleven championships followed by Canada with five championships, Finland with four, Russia with three, and Sweden with two.[1] Players who do not participate in the World Championship due to their respective league postseasons have the alternative of representing their country in the non-IIHF Hlinka Gretzky Cup in August.[1]
