The tournament started in Canada on December 26 and was supposed to last until December 5.
Competitions were held in Red Deer and Edmonton.
On December 29, Russia was awarded a technical defeat from Slovakia after the discovery of a coronavirus infection in the team of striker Matvey Michkov.
Initially, the match was to take place in the Canadian Red Deer on the night of December 29-30 at 00:30 Moscow time.
Prior to that, for the same reason, the matches between Finland - Czech Republic and the USA - Switzerland were canceled.
As a result, the tournament was canceled.
