The 2020 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship Division III was an international ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. It was played in Sofia, Bulgaria, from 13 to 19 January 2020.[1] [2] Eight teams participated in the competition; they were drawn into two preliminary round groups of four: the top two teams from each group played in the semifinals in a four-team bracket for a chance to play for promotion to Division II B, while the bottom two teams in each group played in placement rounds for 5th to 8th place. Iceland won the tournament.[3]
To be eligible as a junior player in these tournaments, a player couldn't be born earlier than 2000.
