The 2009 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships (2009 WJHC), was the 33rd edition of the Ice Hockey World Junior Championship and was played in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, between December 26, 2008, and January 5, 2009.[1][2] Games were held at the Ottawa Civic Centre and Scotiabank Place.[3] The tournament set a record for WJC attendance at 453,282. Canada won the gold medal for a record-tying fifth consecutive time. No country would win back-to-back gold until the 2023 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships when Canada won the 2022 and 2023 tournaments respectively.[4][5]

Bid process

Five potential bid groups formally submitted their bids before the March 31, 2006, deadline and made their final presentations to the selection committee in Calgary on April 18, 2006:[6]

On May 3, 2006, Hockey Canada and the Canadian Hockey League announced that Ottawa was chosen to host the 2009 tournament.[7]
