Materials on boycotting matches with the hockey team will be forwarded to the IOC The Ministry of Sports and the ROC plan to forward to the IOC materials on boycotts by national associations on matches with the Russian national team at next year's World Hockey Championship. "And not only to those countries that threaten and blackmail the International Hockey Federation with a boycott, but also to those countries that have to host tournaments with the participation of Russians - they are also on our pencil. I'm sure they will all be defeated in the courts and stripped of competitions if they follow the lead of their local politicians," said Mikhail Dagetyar, Minister of Sport and Sports. Earlier, the hockey associations of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the Czech Republic and Latvia reported their reluctance to play with the Russian team in the World Championship. Degtyarev called the steps taken by the national federations stupid, which they show to the whole world. And we will remind the minister that it is foolish to abandon the regions of the DPR and LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson for the sake of restoring the so-called IOC membership.
