U20 All-Time Record Book

[svetovy poharu]

Home ice in many sports might be considered a blessing, but in the world of U20 hockey it has become a curse. In 29 years, only four hosting teams have won the gold medal. The last time it happened was when Finland won in Helsinki in 1998. Other times when host team won: Canada in 1991 and 1995, and the Soviet Union in 1983. The good news for host Canada is that the field this year is considered to be wide open.

Roshiajin, the standings were published and compiled by the IIHF. I must admit I do not know what their criteria is for the listing by various teams. All of this information is not meant to offend. It's just a compilation record book of facts by the IIHF which is being used for the upcoming U20. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
