All-Stars challenged Canada East. The Maritimers led 3-1 after the first period and 5-4 after the second. In the third, Canada East scored the lone goal to force overtime. OT solved nothing and led to a lengthy shootout. The MJAHL's Nick Huard made it 1–0 on the first shot, Canada East's Andrew Calof made it 1–1 on the next shot. The MJAHL's Darcy Ashley made it 2–1 on the third shot and Canada East's Brock Higgs scored to knot it at 2 on the sixth shot. After the first six shooters, the shootout became sudden death. All of the next eight penalty shots were stopped before the MJAHL's Stuart Lenehan made it 3–2 on the 15th shot of the shootout. Jeff Vanderlugt of Canada East tied it at 3 on the next shot. On the 17th shot of the shootout, the MJAHL's Matt Milson made it 4-3 and on the 18th Canada East's Kyle Just could not beat the MJAHL's Kirk Rafuse, ending the game as a 6–5 shootout victory for the MJAHL All-Stars. The irony of this MJAHL victory is that the Canada East squad represents the MJAHL at the WJAC, and that the Canada East active roster has no MJAHL players on it.

Despite outshooting the Russians, the Russians played a tight defensive game and held on to a tight 2–1 victory to take early control of Pool A. In the late game, Canada East and the United States squared off in a fierce battle. Tied 4-4 after regulation and overtime, the game went to a shootout. Canada East went 3 for 3 on the shootout to win the game, while the United States managed 2 for 3 because they did not manage to score on their final shot, picking up only the regulation tie. On the second day of the round robin, Russia played Sweden. This was Sweden's first ever WJAC game. Despite being badly outshot by the Swedes, the Russians put on another defensive clinic and won the game 3–2 in a shootout to clinch Pool A's top spot. In the second game of the day, Canada East and Belarus squared off in a real barn burner. Combining for 12 goals, the Canadians won 7–5 to clinch the top spot of Pool B for the playoff round. To start the final day of the round robin, Canada West took on Sweden. Despite badly outshooting the Canadians, the Swedes could not keep the puck out of their own net resulting in a 6–3 loss. Canada West finishes second in Pool A, while Sweden finishes third in Pool A. In the final game of the round robin, the United States bombed the Belorussians 6–1 to take the second seed in Pool B, the third seed in Pool B automatically went to Belarus with the loss.

Belarus will meet Sweden in the aforementioned 5th place game, while the United States will play Russia in Semi-final A and the two Canadian squads will face-off in Semi-final B.


5th place and semifinal

On November 6, in Semi-final A, Russia and the United States squared off for a berth into the gold medal game. The Americans had built up an early 4–0 lead by the halfway point of the game, but the Russians stormed back to make it 4-3 late in the game. The Americans scored two late goals to clinch the victory and a chance for their second straight gold medal; the Russian were forced to play for bronze. In Semi-final B, the two Canadian teams met in the tournament for the first time since 2007. Canada West led 2-1 after one and 7-1 after two, as Canada East were chased out of the building with a 9–1 loss. Kunyk scored a hat-trick for Canada West in the win. Canada West competed against the United States in the Gold Medal Game, a rematch of the 2008 World Junior A Challenge, while Canada East and Russia played for Bronze. The next day, Sweden and Belarus fought for fifth place in the tournament. Kachan and Remezov had given Belarus a 2–0 lead by the end of the second. Dyk and Almquist scored to tie it up early in the third. Remezov scored again for Belarus and soon after Johansson scored to tie it for Sweden. Late in the game Drozd scored for Belarus to give them a 4–3 edge, then Mallauka capped it off with an empty-net goal to finish off the Swedes.


Bronze and Gold

In the Bronze Medal Game, Canada East dropped a 6-2 decision to Russia. For the first time in tournament history the Eastern Canadians walk away without a medal, but for the first time since the 2006 World Junior A Challenge Russia finishes higher than fourth. The Gold Medal Game was a tight affair. Canada West and the United States were tied 0-0 after the first and 1-1 after the second. Early in the third, the Americans made it 2-1 and held on for the victory. Canada West's Sean Bonar was selected as the tournament MVP.
