The 2023 World Junior Championship will begin on December 26th, 2022 and finish with the gold medal game on January 5th, 2023. The tournament will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Moncton, New Brunswick, making this the third consecutive World Junior tournament hosted by Canada.
Team USA lost to Czechia in the quarterfinals at the recent 2022 World Junior Championship that took place this past August after being postponed from last December/January due to covid-19 complications. USA was a perfect 4-0 in the group stage, but faltered when the games really mattered. There are several returning players who will look to put that tournament behind them with a better result in the 2023 World Juniors. Team USA is a distant second favorite to Canada to win the tournament.
On this page I will break down how to bet on this years World Junior tournament if you live in the United States (Canadians check out this how to bet on the World Juniors in Canada article).
World Junior Championship Winner Odds
Before I provide the 3 step guide to betting on this years World Juniors, let’s take a look at the current odds to win the tournament. These odds are taken from Bovada.lv, our top rated betting site for Americans (odds are from December 21st – a few days before the tournament).
- Canada -120
- USA +375
- Finland +400
- Sweden +650
- Czech Republic +1600
- Slovakia +2500
- Switzerland +10000
- Germany +15000
- Austria +100000

As you can see the Canadians are favorites, but USA, Finland and Sweden are all serious contenders. It would be a massive upset if the tournament winner isn’t one of those four nations.
