Down-the-line.com/Hockey. Anders Larsson, president of the Swedish Hockey Association and member of the board of directors of the International Hockey Federation (IIHF), categorically opposes the possibility of the return of the national teams of Russia and Belarus to the competition.
“The Swedish Hockey Association fully supports the decision of the International Ice Hockey Federation to prevent Russia and Belarus from participating in the international championships in the current situation. It is currently completely unacceptable for Russia and Belarus to participate in international competitions. Last year we decided that these countries will not participate in the 2023/2024 season and this position is the position of Swedish ice hockey,” Larsson told Expressen.
