Ice Hockey Australia have announced that they are withdrawing from the 2021 IIHF Ice Hockey U20 World Championship Division III and 2021 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship Division II Group A tournaments due to the ongoing travel restrictions and potential health issues among other things.

The Australian women’s under-18 team was expected to travel to Great Britain in January for their Division II Group A tournament while the Australian men’s under-20 team would have headed to Mexico in February for their Division III tournament. The decision on the participation of the men’s senior team, women’s senior team and men’s under-18 team for 2021 will be decided in the coming months.
