The 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship Division III was played with one group of six teams, as well as a two-team qualification tournament for the 2019 tournament. Israel won all their games and were promoted to Division II B. The team which placed first in the qualification tournament was expected to be promoted to Division III, swapping places with the sixth place team in Division III, but the 2019 organizers chose to make Division III a single tournament making these placings irrelevant.
The tournament was a round-robin tournament format, with two points allotted for a win, one additional point for a regulation win, and one point for an overtime or game winning shots loss.
To be eligible as a junior player in these tournaments, a player could not be born earlier than 1998.
The main tournament was held in Sofia, Bulgaria, while the qualification was played in Cape Town, South Africa. The qualification was supposed to have the debut of the Turkmenistan national junior team, though they dropped out prior to it starting.
The Division III main tournament was played in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 22 to 28 January 2018.[1] [2]
