HALIFAX — Latvia maintained its spot in the top tier of world junior hockey with a 4-2 win over Austria on Wednesday.
Latvia swept the best-of-three relegation series at the 2023 world junior championship with the win after taking Monday’s opener 5-2.
The result means Latvia will compete at the 2024 world juniors in Goteborg, Sweden. Austria is relegated to the Division I, Group A tournament.
Norway, which hosted and won the Division I, Group A championship last month, will replace Austria in Goteborg.
