With Denmark and Switzerland officially relegated to Division I for 2009, the field of 10 has been set for
the 2009 IIHF World Junior Championship in Ottawa.
Slovakia secured its ticket to the nation’s capital by turning back the Swiss 5-2, while Kazakhstan
completed a 2-0-0 run through the relegation round by doubling up on Denmark 6-3.
Switzerland’s relegation ends a 13-year run in the top division.
Joining Slovakia and Kazakhstan at the 2009 World Juniors will be Germany and Latvia, who won promotion
back into the top division in December, along with Canada, Sweden, the USA, Russia, Finland and the Czech
Republic.
The 2009 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship runs from December 26, 2008 to January 5, 2009. Seventeen
