One of the biggest news stories this past week was Russia’s rise in the IIHF rankings. The team, after missing three world championships, overtook Finland and moved from third to second place. This caused confusion for many. The head of the IIHF, Luc Tardif, spoke about the current situation.
– However, this note no longer makes sense due to the current situation.
