It was reported today that the Stanley Cup will not travel to Russia or Belarus this summer. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said both teams were made aware of this fact.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have quite a few Russian players including Nikita Kucherov, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Mikhail Sergachev. The Colorado Avalanche have only Valeri Nichushkin.

This is simply the next announcement in the hockey community's overall denunciation of hostile Russian actions in the Ukraine. The NHL has suspended all business partnerships in the country and stopped all Russia social media. The league has said, "It will not hold any future competitions in Russia." Furthermore, the IIHF rescinded the 2023 World Junior Championship hosting rights from Russia.

No report is currently available on how players are responding to this news.
