The Russian Hockey Federation (RHF) and the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) intend to jointly appeal the International Ice Hockey Federation's (IIHF) refusal to allow the national youth team to participate in the 2027 World Championships in Canada. The FHR has already protested and called the ban illegal.
The IIHF's decision was made purely for political reasons, in violation of a binding and final decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
- said in FHR.
Russian sports organizations now plan to request a review of the situation through the International Olympic Committee.
