Канадский хоккеист СКА высказался о допуске сборной России до молодежного чемпионата мира

According to Sputnik, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) issued a ruling that requires youth and senior teams from Belarus and Russia to be allowed to take part in International Ice Hockey Federation tournaments in the 2026/2027 season.

According to Belta, the IIHF Council announced on November 7 that Belarusian teams will not take part in the youth world championship and the 2027 world championship. LENTA.RU reports that the IIHF, citing its website, barred Belarusian teams from the 2027 world championships, and that the Belarusian federation said it does not agree with the new Council decision.

РБК-Україна reports that Ukraine's youth and sports minister, Matviy Bidnyi, said Ukraine is using several mechanisms to protect its national team's place in the elite division and to prevent Russian teams from being readmitted, saying the CAS decision does not cancel the reality of war. Главком reports that the CAS obliged the federation to admit Russian teams to competitions.
