The 2022 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships is the 46th edition of the IIHF World Junior Championship, being played August 9–20, 2022 at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

The tournament was originally scheduled to be held from December 26, 2021 through January 5, 2022 in Edmonton and Red Deer —the host cities originally awarded the 2021 tournament before it was moved behind closed doors in Edmonton only due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to COVID-19 positive tests on multiple teams, the tournament was curtailed and cancelled on December 29.

In February 2022, it was announced that the tournament would be restarted from scratch at a later date, with all statistics and results from the first playing annulled. Once again, the tournament is being held exclusively in Edmonton. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia was suspended from international ice hockey and replaced by Latvia.

Background

Preparations

On March 14, 2019, it was announced that Gothenburg would be the host city. It was to be the first time that Gothenburg has hosted the tournament (having previously hosted the Senior Ice Hockey World Championships twice in 1981 and 2002), and the seventh time that Sweden had hosted the tournament.

On September 17, 2020, the IIHF announced that the 2022 tournament would instead be hosted by Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta as compensation for the 2021 tournament (which was originally to be hosted by both cities) being held behind closed doors exclusively in Edmonton due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It became the 15th time that Canada has hosted the tournament, the fourth time Edmonton has hosted the tournament, and the second time games have been hosted in Red Deer, following the 1995 edition. Gothenburg was re-assigned the 2024 tournament.

On December 18, 2021, citing the "changing epidemiological situation" involving COVID-19 and Omicron variant, and consultation with the IIHF and Alberta Health Services, Hockey Canada announced that the schedule of pre-tournament games (which was to feature each team playing at least two exhibition games) would be reduced, and moved to December 23. Organizers stated that their goal was to hold a "safe and successful event," and that 90% of tickets had been sold. There were no stated plans to reduce spectator capacity.

As a participant in the provincial "Restrictions Exemption Program" (REP), Rogers Place was allowed to operate at full capacity, but all spectators were required to present proof of COVID-19 vaccinations. On December 21, as part of public health orders to control Omicron variant, the Alberta provincial government ordered all large venues participating in REP to restrict their capacity to 50% effective December 24. Food and drink consumption was prohibited when seated and during intermissions.

Cancellation and rescheduling of tournament due to COVID-19

Teams were required to quarantine if any one member tested positive for COVID-19, resulting in three games being forfeited by December 29. Citing the health and safety of participants, and that the competitive integrity of the tournament had been compromised by the aforementioned forfeits, the IIHF announced that the remainder of the tournament had been abandoned. However, IIHF president Luc Tardif stated during a press conference that a committee would meet in January to discuss the feasibility of resuming the tournament at a later date, and that "we want to take the next month to think about it and maybe come with a good surprise."

On February 17, 2022, Tardif announced that the tournament would be rescheduled to mid-August 2022, following the U18 Hlinka Gretzky Cup also being hosted in Edmonton and Red Deer. The tournament will be replayed from the beginning, with all results and statistics from the first attempt thrown out. Rosters from the first playing of the tournament will be grandfathered. The following month, it was announced that the tournament replay had been scheduled for August 9–20, 2022, and that it will be hosted exclusively by Edmonton for the second year in a row. Those who had purchased tickets for the first running of the 2022 tournament, or the 2021 tournament, were given priority access to tickets.

In condemnation of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia was suspended from international ice hockey by the IIHF. It was announced that Latvia—who were promoted to the top division for 2023 after finishing second in the Division IA tournament—would replace Russia for the tournament replay. Division IA winner Belarus was also banned from international ice hockey for their support of the invasion.

Due to the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal, a number of major companies have suspended their sponsorships and support of Hockey Canada since June 2022, including BDO, Canadian Tire, Imperial Oil, Recipe Unlimited, Scotiabank, Telus, and Tim Hortons. These suspensions have included their withdrawal of sponsorship for the tournament. Besides a placement for IIHF sponsor Tissot and advertisements for the IIHF's mobile app, the boards contain no sponsor logos at all. Sportsnet suggested that sponsors may had been given the option to refund their commitments after the first playing of the tournament was cancelled.

On the eve of the tournament, it was also reported that "thousands" of tickets were still unsold, including tickets for games involving Canada—which had typically been a major draw during editions of the tournament hosted by Canada. The summer scheduling of the tournament, high ticket prices, the Hockey Canada scandals, and the removal of Russia, were cited by the press as potential factors. The first day of the tournament saw minuscule crowds, with its first three games having an announced attendance of 430, 376, and 829 respectively. However, this was based on tickets sold, and the actual number of spectators in attendance was believed to be much lower.
