Canada: Strategic developments in Ottawa
Canada will not allow hockey players from Russia and Belarus to compete in the youth World Championship. 'As long as Russia and Belarus support this illegal, unforgivable, and monstrous war in Ukraine, and as long as it continues, athletes from these countries will not play for their national teams in Canada,' stated Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. The Youth World Championship is scheduled to take place from late December to early January in the Canadian province of Alberta. Canada previously condemned the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), made last week, allowing Russian athletes to compete in events of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). Previously on Tuesday, national ice hockey federations of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Latvia, and the Czech Republic announced that they would refuse to play against the Russian team at the World Men's Hockey Championship, which will be held in Germany next year.
