For the first time since before COVID, the World Juniors are being held outside of North America this year. The game will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2024.
The games will take place in two grounds in Gothenburg: Scandinavium and Frolundaborg. Group A will play at Scandanavium, and Group B will play at Frolundaborg. The quarterfinals will be played at both places, and then the semifinals and medal games will be held at Scandinavium.
It was meant to be held in Gothenburg in 2022, but because of COVID, the IIHF changed the event to Halifax, N.S. and Moncton, N.B. The U20 game will be held in Gothenburg for the first time. It will be held in Sweden seven times over all.
As of the start of the game, the oddsmakers said that the USA, Canada, Sweden, and Finland were all in it for the gold.

If a team wins in regulation, they get three points. If they win in overtime, they get two points. If they lose in regulation, they get one point.
The top four teams from each group move on to the playoffs, where they will play teams based on their seeds. For these games, they will switch groups: 1A plays 4B, 1B plays 4A, 2A plays 3B, and 2B plays 3A. If a team makes it to the playoffs, it will be reseeded.
As a winner of the playoffs, you will play for the gold title. The losers will play for third place.
