Switzerland, Slovakia look for a turnaround after losses on the opening day of the World Juniors in Ottawa

Slovakia (0-1-0, 0 points) and Switzerland (0-1-0, 0 points) took lopsided losses on Thursday to open the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship in Ottawa and have little time to bounce back as they face each other at TD Place on Friday afternoon. Slovakia placed sixth at last year’s tournament in Sweden while the Swiss finished seventh, with each landing in Group B as part of the snake assignment of teams based on their rankings a year ago. The top four teams in each group advance to the quarterfinals while the two fifth-place teams meet in a relegation playoff.
