The final day of the World Juniors would determine the best teams in the world and after a few surprises it would all come down to two bitter rivals to determine the gold medal. But before the gold medal game there were two more games that were needed to figure out the rest of the rankings. First was the final relegation game in a new system that would see a best-of-three series between the Germans and the Norwegians. Norway had opened the series with a win by what seemed to be a distracted German team that was undisciplined and was not into the game

The World Juniors are stepping closer to the medals as the Quarter-finals would begin with 8 teams looking to get a chance at the podium. As these eight teams began their playoff rounds two more teams would sit in the relegation and look to get comfortable seeing each other. The Relegation series would open up the day for the World Juniors as Norway and Germany looked to take the first shot in the best-of-3 series.

The last day of the round robin for the World Juniors was another wild one as teams took their last crack at earning their spot. Some things had been figured out as most teams had already ensured their spot in the playoffs.

The World Juniors have long been a tournament for the Canadians as they have always been the biggest team. There has always been one other team though that has been one of the best even if they do not focus on the tournament that much. The Russians have always been one of the best teams in the tournament as they have been constantly among the top teams every year.
