The result means Germany will return to the top group of the World Junior Championship next year, while the Danes will be demoted to Division I-A.
The Danes lost all five games they played, while Germany won only one, which was enough to remain in the top group.
"I think we played pretty well today, but when you give up eight goals, it's hard to win a game," said Dane Mads Klyvo, who had two goals and an assist. "We took too many penalties today. That made it hard. I can promise you one thing, and that is that we're going to do everything to win next year and come back here."
The tournament is over for both teams after Friday afternoon’s contest.
Denmark joins Austria, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Slovenia, and Ukraine in Division I Group A for the upcoming season. Hungary was recently promoted to D-1 Group A after a tournament victory in December 2025.
