The Swiss Ice Hockey Federation has announced that its junior national team (under 20) will not play against the Russian junior national team at the upcoming World Championship, citing the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This decision comes after the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) included Russia in the tournament schedule, replacing Norway. The Norwegian Ice Hockey Federation has expressed hope that their team's exclusion might still be reversed due to potential visa refusals for Russian players by Canadian authorities and threats of boycotts by other nations.
