One federation calling for Russia and Belarus' removal from IIHF; significant decisions coming tomorrow
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused many to wonder what will happen to their national sporting teams. As for hockey, the IIHF council is set to meet tomorrow to discuss fallout of their invasion of Ukraine.
In a statement on Sunday, the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation is calling on the IIHF council to remove Russia and Belarus as member of the IIHF.
According to TSN's Darren Dreger, the IIHF is expected to make significant decisions during Monday's council meeting and it's possible that it will involve Russia's participation at the 2022 Men's World Championship in Finland in May.
Russia is also set to host the 2023 World Juniors in December and then the 2023 Men's World Championship next May. Given the pressure from other federations, the IIHF should move those tournaments out of Russia, it's the right thing to do.
Our thoughts continue to be with Ukraine at this difficult time.
Indications are the IIHF will make significant decisions at its council meeting tomorrow that will likely impact Russian participation in International hockey events, beginning with the Men's Worlds in Finland.— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) February 27, 2022
