Svetlana Zhurova believes that the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) should show steadfastness and take away from Canada the right to host the Youth World Cup-2027. There are other countries in the world that are ready to host the tournament and host Russian players.
She also believes that the Canadian Hockey Federation should be fined. They are not willing to give everyone equal participation.
Moreover, it became known that Canada plans not to let even those Russian hockey players who already have visas.
