Groups
Ballots for the groups in this event were drawn on May 9, 2009, during one of the semi-final matches of the 2009 Men's under-19 World Floorball Championships in Turku, Finland.
In the way the ballots were drawn, no team qualified from the AOFC played against each other in group stage matches, and no team qualified from Europe either.
The groups were assembled based on qualifying as follows:
| Group A | Group B | Group C | Group D |
|---|---|---|---|
| Finland | Latvia | Germany | Czech Republic |
| Russia | Switzerland | Sweden | Norway |
| Europe 1 | AOFC 1 | AOFC 3 | AOFC 2 |
| North America | Europe 2 | Europe 4 | Europe 3 |

Famous quotes containing the word groups:
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
“Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
