Overview[]

The 2018 IIHF U20 Challenge Cup of Asia began on 12 December 2017 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with games played at the Malaysia National Ice Skating Stadium (MyNISS).[1] The tournament is the first U20 Challenge Cup of Asia to be held since 2014. All four teams from the 2014 edition, Japan, Kazakhstan, MHL Red Stars and South Korea, did not return due to the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) restructuring the tournament for countries which do not participate in the IIHF World U20 Championships.[2][3] In August 2017 the IIHF announced the participants for the tournament.[4] India, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia and the Philippines all made their debut in under-20 international competition.[4][5][6][7][8] The United Arab Emirates returned having last played a series of exhibition games in 2013 during the 2013 IIHF World U20 Championships.[9][10]

The tournament consisted of a single round-robin with each team competing in four games.[11] Malaysia won the tournament after winning all five of their games and finished first in the standings.[11] Kyrgyzstan finished second after losing only to Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates finished in third.[11] Malaysia's Mohammad Hariz Mohammad Oryza Ananda led the tournament in scoring with 18 points and was named the most valuable player.[12][13] Shahrul Ilyas Abdul Shukor of Malaysia finished as the tournaments leading goaltender with a save percentage of 97.56.[14] The IIHF Directorate however awarded best goalkeeper to Abdulrahman Al Hosani of the United Arab Emirates.[15] Malaysia's Chee Ming Bryan Lim was named the best forward and Benjamin Jorge Imperial of the Philippines was named the best defenceman.[15]
