Junior hockey in Russia

Junior hockey in Russia currently consists of national championships ranging from U15 to U21. They are organized by the Ice Hockey Federation of Russia.

The Junior Hockey League, a multi-national league spanning four nations (and as many as seven in the past), has been the top level junior (U21) league since the 2009-10 season. It also consists of a second league, the Junior Hockey League Championships.

The younger age groups consist of regional championships, with the top teams meeting in the national final to crown the season's national champion.

The YUHL was formed as the U19 league in 2013. It was contested as a U18 league in 2014 and 2015.

The Russia U18 Female Championship has been contested since 2019.
