World Junior Ice Hockey Championships and was held in Mora andLeksand ,Sweden betweenDecember 26 ,2006 andJanuary 5 ,2007 . The venues wereFM Mattsson Arena in Mora, andEjendals Arena in Leksand.For 2007, the tournament round-robin format was changed from previous years, to resemble more closely the format used in the
National Hockey League . Teams would receive three points for a win in regulation, while teams winning in overtime would receive two points. Teams losing in overtime would receive one point. During the round-robin portion of the tournament, a five-minute four-on-four sudden-victory overtime would be played, while the knockout games and the gold medal game would use full-strength ten- and twenty-minute sudden-victory overtimes, respectively. If the game remained tied after overtime, an NHL-style shootout (with three skaters instead of five, as per other international competitions) would be held.Team
Canada won its third consecutive gold medal, capping an undefeated tournament with a 4-2 victory overRussia in the gold medal game. The world championship for Canada was also their first on European ice in a decade; the Canadians had not won a World Junior gold medal in Europe since1997 inGeneva, Switzerland , when they defeated theUnited States in the gold medal game.Canadian goaltender
Carey Price was named tournament MVP, garnering a 1.14goals-against average .cite web | url = http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/news_story/?ID=190989&hubname= | publisher = tsn.ca | accessdate = 2007-01-05 | date = 2007-01-05 | author = TSN | title = Canada beats Russia in Gold Medal Game] cite web | title = Goalkeepers | publisher = iihf.com | author = International Ice Hockey Federation | accessdate = 2007-01-05 | date =2007-01-05 | url = http://www.iihf.com/Hydra/Tournaments_07/output/w20/hydra.iihf.com/data/iihf/output/xml/96/IHM096Z11_85A_1_0.pdf]Championship Results
