Ivan Feneš's wards started the World Championshipin style, beating the Czechs, Swiss, and Norwegians by a combined score of 17:6, but then went down 10:2 to the Americans to finish second in Group B.
Finland U20

After that, however, they beat Latvia 4:0 in their opening game and Sweden 5:4 the day before to finish third in Group A.
