Editors Note: The IIHF on Wednesday canceled the remainder of the 2022 World Juniors tournament, citing the ongoing spread of COVID-19 and the Omicron variant. The announcement was made with preliminary games already in progress after a player on the Russian National Team tested positive for COVID-19. The positive test forced a third forfeited game in just two days compromising the sportive integrity of the event.
The 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship hockey tournament is available to watch on several platforms for fans in the United States and Canada.
Ten teams from around the world are scheduled to compete at Edmonton and Red Deer in Alberta, Canada from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in pursuit of a gold medal. The teams were divided into two groups, with Canada in Group A and the United States in Group B. Viewers in Canada will be able to find coverage of the tournament on TSN, while viewers in the United States can watch each tournament game on NHL Network.
After arriving in Edmonton and Red Deer in Alberta, Canada on Dec. 13, each player served a mandated five-day quarantine period. However, the IIHF announced that all 11 pre-tournament games were canceled and limited each team to one matchup ahead of the official tournament on Thursday, Dec. 23. With the recent surge of COVID-19, the tournament will go on with additional restrictions in place.
Here is a complete guide to finding live streams for the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship in both the United States and Canada.
