IIHF U18 World Championships
4.21.22 - 5.1.22
Sweden stunned the United States to win the 2022 IIHF U18 World Championships, defeating the Americans 6-4 despite being outshot 51-15. Hugo Havelid had the 24 hours of his life, backstopping Sweden’s semifinal 2-1 win vs rivals Finland with 41 saves, followed up by a 47 save performance to take home the gold.
The silver medal will still be a disappointment for the US, who dominated the tournament, playing with creativity, and speed, as expected for a team with multiple top 20 prospects for the upcoming draft. Logan Cooley, ranked #2 amongst North American Skaters in the latest NHL Central Scouting Rankings, and Cutter Gauthier, ranked #3 amongst North American Skaters, were both impressive along with projected 1st rounders Isaac Howard (9th NA Skaters), Frank Nazar III (21st NA Skaters), and Rutger McGroarty (22nd NA Skaters) all finished over a point per game in the tournament.
Results
Gold : Sweden
Silver : United States
Bronze : Finland
