The Canadian government is taking a stance against Russian and Belarusian athletes by banning their participation in the World Juniors hockey tournament.

BREAKING: “Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Russia will not be allowed to compete at next month’s world junior hockey championship in Alberta…Russian and Belarusian athletes will not be permitted to represent their countries in Canada as long as the war in Ukraine continues.” Good. https://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/article/pm-carney-says-russian-hockey-players-will-not-be-allowed-to-compete-at-world-juniors/

“While Russia and Belorussia [sic] are supporting this illegal, unjustified, horrific war in Ukraine, as long as that’s going on, there will be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada,” Carney said when asked if Russian players would be denied visas.” “So if you’re asking specifically about the world juniors, the Russians will not be there.” https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/article-carney-russia-world-juniors-edmonton-red-deer/?utm_source=Shared+Article+Sent+to+User&utm_medium=LinkCopy&utm_campaign=Shared+Web+Article+Links #Canada #Russia #Ukraine #Hockey #WorldJuniors
