The 2022 IIHF World U18 Championship was the 23rd such event hosted by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Teams participated at several levels of competition. The competition also served as qualifications for the 2023 competition. On 28 February the IIHF "suspended all Russian and Belarusian National Teams and Clubs from participation in every age category and in all IIHF competitions or events until further notice", which resulted in a reformatting of the tournament. [1] Due to the suspensions there are two open spots in the top division, two teams can be promoted for 2023 and no team will be relegated. [2] Additionally, all eight teams will qualify for the QF round and will be reseeded according to their tournament ranking. [2]
