Canada closed the Russians' way to the World Youth Championship. Hockey players with valid visas, even under a neutral flag, will not be able to play, TSN commentator Gord Miller said.
According to him, the authorities will not issue visas to Russian actors. The IIHF and the Canadian Hockey Association have already been notified.
Before that, CAS required the IIHF to enter Russian teams into five world championships in the 2026/27 season. The youth championship will be held in Canada from December 26 to January 5.
