🤮 Ukraine may be expelled from the elite division of the Ice Hockey World Championship 2027 to make room for Russia, - Sportbladet
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has allowed Russian national teams to return to international tournaments. The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) disagrees with the decision but intends to comply.
Russia may return to the division it was competing in before its suspension in 2022. Since Ukraine was the most recent team to earn a spot in the elite division, it could be relegated, although Ukrainians achieved promotion for the first time in 20 years.
A final decision has not yet been made. The hockey federations of Sweden and Finland have already opposed Russia’s return.
