Kozhevnikov underlined: “We see rather strange decisions, but leaving the IIHF is not the right step. Otherwise, we risk losing the opportunity to play with teams from countries that are just starting to develop hockey, such as Africa or Brazil. This could negatively affect hockey in Russia and we will face a decrease in interest in the sport. Players will go abroad, which will affect both adult athletes and young hockey players Parents will not see the point of visiting the hockey sections.
