The Canadian U18 girls won the World Championship for the third consecutive time. USA was beaten 5-1 in Budapest, Hungary. Sarah Potomak and Éve-Audrey Picard both scored twice and Samantha Cogan got one goal.
Canada was undefeated throughout the tournament beating Japan, Finland and Czech Republic in the stage and then Russia in the semi final.

Finland finished fifth after beating the neighbor Sweden 3-2 in a shootout game.
The host Hungary were relegated after losing both relegation round games against Japan.
