*The bronze medal game was introduced in 1979. It was discontinued in 1991, when dual bronze medals were awarded. The bronze medal game was reinstituted in 1995. **Undefeated round robin teams earned first-round byes (no semifinal), meaning no bronze medal game was played. ***The United States did not qualify a team for Junior Worlds.
