No Russian World Championship in Ice Hockey

The International Ice Hockey Federation has decided to withdraw the right to host the 2023 ice hockey world championship from Russia.


Formally, this is due to safety concerns for participants, officials, media, and fans. One can only assume that it is also a way for the international community to sanction Russia for its war against Ukraine. Whatever the true reasons are, the decision is good. The championship should be held elsewhere.
