The World U-17 Hockey Challenge 2015 was the 23rd edition of the World U-17 Hockey Challenge , an ice hockey tournament for junior national teams in the U17 age group. From November 1 to 7, 2015, the competition took place in Dawson Creek and Fort St. John in the Canadian province of British Columbia . The gold medal was won for the first time by the Canada White team, which was formed last year and prevailed against the Russian selection in the final .

The eight participants were divided into two groups of four teams each. In the group stage, each team played once against all other group participants and thus played three games.
