Forward of Dynamo Moscow and Russian youth team Egor Rimashevsky told that if the Russian team had participated in the World Junior Championship, they would have achieved a good result.
The Junior World Championship took place in Gothenburg, Sweden, and ended on January 5 with the victory of the American team in the final against the Swedish team (6:2). The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) had previously suspended Russia from participating in the tournament.
— The World Junior Hockey Championship recently ended. Have you followed this tournament?
— I watched two periods of the final match. I can’t say whether the Russian team would have won or not. But I am sure we would have climbed high,” Rimashevsky told .
The last time the Russian national team won the World Junior Championship was in 2011, when they defeated the Canadian national team in the final in Buffalo (5:3).
