Finland Leads Push to Keep Russia Out of Hockey
2026-11-03
Finland is not willing to accept a Russian comeback in international ice hockey without a fight. Last week, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that Russia must be allowed back into International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) events, overturning the ban imposed after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The Finnish Ice Hockey Association has now said it will use every possible route to keep the Russian team out of the World Championships.
