The Russian youth hockey team will not be able to compete in the World Cup due to the position of the Canadian authorities.
Contrary to the court's decision, Ottawa blocked the participation of our athletes in the World Youth Championship.
This was officially announced by the International Hockey Association.
The Canadian government has informed the IIHF organizers that it will not issue visas to hockey players. Moreover, the ban will also affect those Russians who already have Canadian entry documents - they will not be allowed to participate in the games even in neutral status.
