For each tier's tournament, the first-placed team was promoted to a higher division, while the last-placed team was relegated to a lower division.

The tournaments were played in a round-robin tournament format, with two points allotted for a win, one additional point for a regulation win, and one point for an overtime or game winning shots loss.

To be eligible as a junior, a player couldn't be born earlier than 1998.

Division II A was held in Dumfries, United Kingdom, while Division II B was hosted in Belgrade, Serbia.
