Canada has joined other nations in opposing the participation of Russian athletes in international hockey tournaments due to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Russian players will not be allowed at the upcoming World Junior Championship. This decision follows a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport that lifted restrictions on Russia's participation, yet many countries remain against Russia's return to international competitions. The Norwegian Hockey Federation has also stated it will not compete against Russia, emphasizing safety concerns for players and staff. The situation poses challenges for organizers of upcoming tournaments, including the World Junior Championship set to start in Alberta.
