The Russian youth team will not play in the 2027 World Cup in Canada due to the position of the local authorities. This is reported by the IIHF.
Previously, the organization included Russia as a participant instead of Norway in accordance with the CAS decision. However, Canadian authorities said they would not allow Russian hockey players to participate in the tournament.
MFM 2027 will take place from December 26th to January 5th. For our youth team, this may be the first international tournament since 2022.
