Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Dmitry Orlov believes that the National Hockey League (NHL) has not yet made a final decision on holding the World Cup with the participation of the Russian team.
Last November, the NHL announced the postponement of the World Cup from 2024 to 2025 due to “the impossibility of holding under current conditions”.
– Will the World Cup take place with the participation of Russia under the auspices of the NHL? For the moment, silence on this subject. There are a few interviews on this topic, but there are no reports about it in the league yet. I think that nothing has been decided yet, – the correspondent reports Orlov’s words.
The last time the NHL hosted the World Cup was in September 2016 in Toronto. In the final of the tournament, the Canadian team beat the European team.
