European hockey nations refuse to play Russia at 2027 worlds

Original: Hockey nations refuse to play Russia as Germany mulls exit as host

Finland, Norway, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Denmark and Sweden say their teams will not play Russia at the 2027 ice hockey world championship, after a court ruling overturned the four-year ban on Russian national teams. Germany, a planned host, says the ruling fundamentally changes the situation and is weighing whether to withdraw from hosting the tournament.

Why now: A court decision lifting the ban on Russian teams has created a standoff between hockey federations and thrown the 2027 championship's hosting into doubt.
