Seven federations have not approved the schedule for the World Youth Hockey Championship with the participation of Russia, the newspaper Hemman reports.
According to the publication, the CEO of the German Ice Hockey Association, Frank Lutz, informed the Bundestag's sports committee that at least seven national teams refused to approve the calendar. In addition, similar actions are expected regarding the games with the participation of the Russian national team in the Senior World Championship, which will be held in Germany next year.
After the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned the decision to suspend Russia, six national associations (Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Norway, Latvia and Denmark) refused to play against the Russian team at the 2027 Ice Hockey World Championship in Germany.
