The Kazakh Under-20 ice hockey team represents the Hockey Association of Kazakhstan in Hockey in the U20 junior power level in international competitions. She last played in the top division at the U20 World Cup in 2009 .
history
Even before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, there was a Kazakh national selection of juniors, which competed against national teams from other Soviet republics. This played their first game on March 6, 1982 as part of the Winter Spartakiade in Minsk in a 16: 5 win over Lithuania . As an independent national team, the team emerged in 1992 from the U20 national ice hockey team of the Commonwealth of Independent States . She first took part in the qualification for the C World Championship in 1993 and is thus also in the tradition of the Soviet junior selection . She won her first game against the Belarusian selection on November 10, 1992 4-0, but ultimately failed in qualifying against Ukraine , against whom she lost the last qualifying game with 0-1. Up to and including 1998, the U20 national team covered the entire junior area at the World Championships, while the U19 national team took part in the Junior European Championships. Since the introduction of the U18 World Championships in 1999 , the U20 national team of Kazakhstan has only represented the U20 junior level at world championships.
The Kazakh U20 national team predominantly takes part in the second highest division of the U20 world championships (since 2001: Division I, previously B world championship). In 1995 the team took part in the C2 World Cup for the first time, after failing twice in the qualification and immediately rose to the C group. In the following years the Kazakhs marched through to group A, where they first arrived in 1998 and stayed there until 2001. The best place was a sixth place in the 1999 championships . Only in 2008 and 2009 she played again for two years in the top division, but then had to accept relegation to Division I in tenth place. In 2018, after nine years, the company returned to the top class. With two victories in the relegation round against Denmark , the Kazakhs managed to stay in the top division for the first time since 2008 at the 2019 World Cup at the tournament in Canada.
