History

The World Junior Ringette Championships , known as the U19 World Championships, was a tournament organized by the International Ringette Federation (IRF) from 2009 to 2012 for elite international Junior ringette athletes. The competition was run as a separate tournament from the World Ringette Championships which was designed for adult players. The World Junior Ringette Championships no longer function as a separate event, having since merged in 2013 with the main World Ringette Championships program where both Senior and Junior divisions now exist.

Overview

[2] Two Canadian teams, Canada West Under-19 [3] and Canada-East Under-19 [4] faced two Finnish teams, the Finland White Stars and the Finland Blue Stars. [5] Canada East suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Finland White Stars at the gold medal final. [6] [1]
