Canada will deny visas to all Russian hockey players to participate in the 2027 World Junior Championship, TSN columnist Gord Miller reported.
According to him, the Canadian authorities can not only ban the entry of Russian athletes, but also prevent players already in the country with valid visas from entering the tournament.
The World Junior Championships are scheduled to take place from December 26, 2026 to January 5, 2027 in Edmonton and Red Air, Canada.
According to the regulations, the International Hockey Federation can transfer the championship to another country because of this, since there are no prohibitions for Russians to participate in this championship.
