The Russian youth hockey team could replace the Norwegians at the 2027 World Cup in Canada if the IIHF decides to keep the same number of participants. The director of the Norwegian Ice Hockey Federation said that this should not happen, because it would mean that their vacation was taken away from them. Peter Selsten also said in an interview with NTB that the CAS decision was surprising and disappointing. Earlier, Canada's Minister of State for Sport, Adam van Kooverden, said Russia would not be allowed to participate in the 2027 World Cup, despite the CAS decision. The World Youth Championship will take place between December 26, 2026 and January 5, 2027. Mash on sports on MAX.
