Qualification

IIHF Youth Ranking

The top eleven NOCs ranked in the combined rankings from the 2022 and 2023 editions of the IIHF World U18 Championships and IIHF Women's World U18 Championships, and host South Korea, were allowed to enter either a boys' team or a girls' team for the traditional tournament (also called the 6-team tournament or 6-on-6 tournament). Starting with the highest-ranked country and descending by order of rank, each country selected in which gender's tournament it would compete until all tournament quota were filled. Each country was permitted one team totaling eighteen players, of which fifteen were skaters and three were goaltenders. [3] [4]

For the 3-on-3 tournament, countries ranked 12th to 27th, including host South Korea, fielded one team of thirteen players (eleven skaters and two goaltenders). Starting with the highest-ranked country and descending by order of rank, each country selected in which gender's tournament it would compete until all tournament quota were filled. Estonia was the only qualifying nation to decline its quota. [3] [4]

As the host country, South Korea was granted one team per tournament. The South Korean team playing in the 3-on-3 tournament was required to be the opposite gender of the South Korean team participating in the traditional tournament. [2]
