SportsIce hockey: Norway says it was removed from World Juniors to make room for Russia

Norway’s ice hockey association says the International Ice Hockey Federation told it that Norway had been removed from the upcoming World Juniors so Russia could compete. Switzerland says its team will not face Russia. Whether Russia can take part remains uncertain; Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Russian and Belarusian athletes would not compete for their countries in Canada while their governments support the war in Ukraine.
