The 2009 World Junior Ringette Championships, (2009 WJRC) also known as the U19 2009 World Championships, was an international ringette tournament and the first World Junior Ringette Championships organized by the International Ringette Federation (IRF) exclusively for elite junior national ringette teams. It was contested in Prague, Czech Republic, between August 4–8, 2009, at the Letňany Arena.[1]
The World Junior Ringette Championships, known as the U19 World Championships, was a tournament organized by the International Ringette Federation (IRF) from 2009 to 2012 for elite international Junior ringette athletes. The competition was run as a separate tournament from the World Ringette Championships which was designed for adult players. The World Junior Ringette Championships no longer function as a separate event, having since merged in 2013 with the main World Ringette Championships program where both Senior and Junior divisions now exist.
The first appearance by Finland in world junior competition took place during this tournament. Finland sent two different junior teams: the Finland White Stars and the Finland Blue Stars.[7] The tournament's leading scorer was Susanna Tapani with 15 goals and 9 assists for 24 points over 8 games.[citation needed]
