IIHF reverses decision on Russia ban for 2026-27, will make decisions on ’event-by-event basis’
The IIHF has reversed its decision to ban Russia from all 2026-27 competitions and will instead now make a decision on eligibility on an 'event-by-event basis.' The decision could allow Russia take part in the World Juniors this December, along with various other upcoming events. The team was barred from taking part in the Olympics and World Hockey Championship this year.
