The 2022 IIHF U20 Asia and Oceania Championship was an international men's under-20 ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). The tournament took place between 25 June and 2 July at Thailand International Ice Hockey Arena in Bangkok, Thailand,[1] and was the sixth edition held since its formation in 2012 under the IIHF Asia and Oceania Championship series of tournaments. To be eligible as a "junior" player in this tournament, a player cannot be born earlier than 2002.
Thailand won its first U20 Asia and Oceania Championship and its first gold medal ever on home ice after defeating Singapore 4–3 in the gold medal game.[2] Hong Kong won the bronze medal after a 6–5 victory over the United Arab Emirates. Malaysia finished in 5th place, while the Philippines finished in 6th place after being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing them to withdraw partway through the tournament and forfeit their last two games.
