Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Says Russia Will Not Participate In 2027 World Juniors

The uncertainty surrounding Russia's participation in the upcoming world junior hockey championship in Alberta just got a definitive ruling.

When asked about the potential of Russian athletes participating in the event, beginning on Dec. 26, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney provided clarity on the situation.

"While Russia and Belarus are supporting this illegal and unjustified horrific war in Ukraine, as long as that's going on, there will be none of those athletes competing for their countries in Canada," Carney told CPAC on Tuesday.
