:2012 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships

On February 1, 2008, Hockey Canada and the Canadian Hockey League announced that six groups had submitted letters of intent to bid to host the 2012 tournament: Calgary/Edmonton; Halifax, Nova Scotia; London/Windsor, Ontario; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; Toronto; and Winnipeg.{{cite web |url=http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.cfm/ci_id/53318/la_id/1.htm |title=Six letters of intent to bid received by Hockey Canada from potential hosts for the 2010 and 2012 IIHF World Junior Championships |date=2008-02-01 |publisher=Hockey Canada |access-date=2008-07-08}} The London/Windsor, Halifax and Winnipeg bids withdrew before the application deadline, leaving three groups.{{cite web |url=http://www.hockeycanada.ca/5/4/3/3/4/index1.shtml |title=Hockey Canada receives documentation for bids for 2010 and 2012 IIHF World Junior Championships |date=2008-04-02 |publisher=Hockey Canada |access-date=2008-07-08}} Saskatoon was selected to host the 2010 tournament with Regina, Saskatchewan, leaving only the Calgary/Edmonton and Toronto bids for this tournament.{{cite web |url=http://www.hockeycanada.ca/5/6/0/3/1/index1.shtml |title=Saskatoon and Regina to host 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship |date=2008-07-07 |publisher=Hockey Canada |access-date=2007-07-08}}

The Alberta bid, supported by the National Hockey League's Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers as well as the Western Hockey League's Calgary Hitmen and Edmonton Oil Kings, was selected to host the tournament on August 28, 2008.{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/calgary-edmonton-land-2012-world-hockey-juniors-1.763676 |title=Calgary, Edmonton land 2012 world hockey juniors |date=2008-08-28 |publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |access-date=2010-01-17}} It will be the second time the tournament has been hosted in the province; Red Deer served as the primary host of the 1995 World Junior Championship, while some tournament games were played in both Calgary and Edmonton.

As part of their bid, the two cities projected that they would generate a tournament record attendance in excess of 475,000 fans and provide an economic benefit of $42 million to the province of Alberta.{{cite web |url=https://www.tsn.ca/canadian_hockey/story/?id=247776 |title=Alberta to host 2012 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship |publisher=The Sports Network |date=2008-08-28 |access-date=2011-01-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629092523/http://www.tsn.ca/canadian_hockey/story/?id=247776 |archive-date=June 29, 2011 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }} Following a reserved offering of 10- and 21-game ticket packs for Edmonton and Calgary games respectively to season ticket holders of the Oilers, Oil Kings, Flames and Hitmen, the tournament committee held a lottery to award the right to purchase the remaining seats. While the entry deadline was supposed to coincide with the conclusion of the 2011 tournament, organizers were flooded with so many entries that their website servers crashed.{{cite web |url=http://www.edmontonsun.com/sports/columnists/terry_jones/2011/01/05/16777881.html |title=Bigger, better World Juniors in 2012 |work=Edmonton Sun |date=2011-01-05 |access-date=2011-01-07}} Organizers were overwhelmed by the response; over 187,000 entries were received for the draw.{{cite web |last=Wood |first=Michael |url=http://www.calgarysun.com/news/alberta/2011/01/13/16879756.html |title=Demand for junior hockey ducats outstrips inventory |work=Calgary Sun |date=2011-01-13 |access-date=2011-01-14 |archive-date=June 13, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120613023448/http://www.calgarysun.com/news/alberta/2011/01/13/16879756.html |url-status=dead }}

Calling the demand unprecedented, Hockey Canada announced that the 17,000 ticket packages made available to lottery winners had sold out in a matter of days, a year in advance of the tournament.{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/2012-world-juniors-in-alberta-sold-out-1.980571 |title=2012 World Juniors in Alberta sold out |publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |date=2011-01-13 |access-date=2011-01-14}} While organizers were pleased with the result, the way the lottery was handled has angered fans who won the right to purchase tickets but were unable to do so as no tickets were left when their turn to buy arrived.{{cite web |last=Komarnicki |first=Jamie |url=https://calgaryherald.com/sports/Hockey+fans+left+empty+handed+after+World+Juniors+ticket+flub/4105197/story.html |title=Thousands of hockey fans left empty-handed after World Juniors ticket flub |work=Calgary Herald |date=2011-01-14 |access-date=2011-01-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110117105711/http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/Hockey+fans+left+empty+handed+after+World+Juniors+ticket+flub/4105197/story.html |archive-date=January 17, 2011 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}

In spite of multiple sources proclaiming that the event beat the record by nearly 120,000{{cite web|url=https://edmontonsun.com/2012/01/09/alberta-world-juniors-sets-attendance-record|publisher=The Edmonton Sun|title=Alberta world juniors sets attendance record|access-date=2024-12-12}}{{cite web|url=https://globalnews.ca/news/197384/calgary-edmonton-set-attendance-record-for-world-junior-events/|publisher=Global News|title=Calgary, Edmonton set attendance record for World Junior events|access-date=2024-12-12}} it fell just short of setting a new attendance record. The IIHF reported a total of 444,718{{cite web|url=https://stats.iihf.com/hydra/270/IHM270000_84_11_0.pdf|publisher=IIHF.com|title=Team Statistics|date= 2012-01-05|access-date=2024-12-12}} marginaly short of the record set in 2009. The tournament in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada had 453,282 spectators. Though many more tickets were sold as part of tournament packages, the IIHF only counts actual paid spectators in attendance in its figures.

Each round was a round-robin tournament, where the teams played each other once within their group. The Preliminary Round was divided into two groups: Group A and Group B, which included five teams each. From each group, the top three teams qualified for the playoffs; the 1st-ranked teams earned a direct trip to the Semifinals, while the 2nd and 3rd-ranked teams qualified for the Quarterfinals. The 4th and 5th-ranked teams had to play in the Relegation Round, where the three best teams qualified for the Top Division tournament in 2013, with the last-placed team being relegated to the 2013 Division I tournament. In the Semifinals, the directly-qualified Semifinalists faced the winners from the Quarterfinals.{{cite web |url=http://www.iihf.com/channels1112/wm20/format.html |title=Top Division format |work=iihf.com |publisher=IIHF |access-date=2011-12-31}}
