1992 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships

Final standings

The 1992 tournament was a round-robin format, with the top three teams winning gold, silver and bronze medals respectively. The day the tournament began, the Soviet Union formally dissolved. In the week that followed the team continued to play as the Soviet Union, but on January 1, 1992, the team was renamed the Commonwealth of Independent States. Three players on the team, however, Sergejs Žoltoks and Sandis Ozoliņš (from Latvia) and Darius Kasparaitis (from Lithuania) were from nations not part of the Commonwealth.

Switzerland was relegated to Pool B for 1993.
