IIHF World Youth Ranking

The Youth Ranking consists of the results of the 2022 and 2023 IIHF U18 Men’s and U18 Women’s Ice Hockey World Championships.

The points have been awarded in a descending manner so that the top ranked team receives 45 points and the 45th ranked one point. Countries that were outside the top 45 or did not participate at all received no points. In the case of a tie, the most recent ranking serves as the tie-breaker.
