SportsCanada’s prime minister vows to bar Russian hockey players from world junior championship
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Russia’s national team will not play in the world junior hockey championship in Alberta. He said Canada will bar Russian and Belarusian athletes from competitions in the country while the war between Russia and Ukraine continues. Russia’s ambassador called the remarks regrettable. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ordered the international hockey federation to admit Russia to tournaments; Germany has not ruled out refusing to host the adult championship, while five Nordic and Baltic countries said they would not play against Russia.
