Background

In 1967, the first international tournament of the national teams of eight countries was held, organized at the initiative of the USSR Hockey Federation and the Czechoslovak Hockey Union - the tournament became the forerunner of the European Championships for young men, which the IIHF began to hold. From this moment, it is possible to truly begin the reckoning of the USSR junior ice hockey team, the successor of which is the junior national team of Russia. The first 9 tournaments were played by hockey players under 19 years old, since 1977 the age limit has been reduced to 18.
