1999 IIHF World U18 Championships

The 1999 IIHF World U18 Championships was the first of its kind. It was held between April 8 and 18, 1999, in Füssen and Kaufbeuren, Germany. It replaced the European Under 18 Championship at the top two levels (which had run since 1977), by including one nation, the United States. Below the top two levels (Divisions A & B) two tiers of European divisions played, as well as two tiers of Asian divisions.[1][2]
