Today the IIHF will announce new plans for the 2021 and 2022 World Junior Championships. This winter’s event, scheduled to run in December 2020 and January 2021, will be held entirely in Edmonton in a hub format similar to the way the NHL is holding the playoffs. The event was originally scheduled to be held in Edmonton and Red Deer.
The 2022 event will not go to Europe in the usual alternating system where Canada hosts every other year, but will stay in Alberta, presumably to allow Red Deer to have their turn as host.
Announcement coming from IIHF.
