As far as I know, the first WC in uw hockey was held in 1980 in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada - mens only competition. In 1982 a womens only was held in Australia; and in 1984 the first combined WC was held in Chicago Illinois, USA - month was likely April. I was there - 8 countries (8 mens, 4 womens teams).
