Orosz válogatott nem léphet Kanada földjére, amíg tart a háború

The Canadian government has officially denied visas to the Russian national ice hockey team for the upcoming junior world championship due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. This decision affects not only the team but also Russian players with valid Canadian visas. The IIHF must now determine how to proceed with the tournament, as the CAS has mandated the inclusion of Russian teams. Other countries, including the Czech Republic and Germany, have also expressed intentions to deny visas to Russian athletes, raising concerns about the future of international sporting events. The situation could jeopardize the Olympic candidacy of Munich and the sport's future.
