1992 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships
The 1992 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships was the 16th edition of the World Junior Ice Hockey Championships and was held from December 26, 1991 until January 4, 1992. It was held in Fussen, Germany. The Commonwealth of Independent States won gold, while Sweden won silver, and the United States took home the bronze medal.
Final standings
The 1991 tournament was a round-robin format, with the top three teams winning gold, silver and bronze medals respectively.
On New Year's Day, 1992, the Soviet Union was formally dissolved, and the team that had begun the tournament under that name completed it as the Commonwealth of Independent States. The team had no new flag to fly at the tournament, and continued to use their CCCP jerseys through to its conclusion.[1]
