“I think this is great news. The last world tournaments have shown that hockey has problems, without Belarus and especially Russia, the championships lose their importance. The last world championship between youth teams is revealing .
Because of politics, one of the best hockey tournaments in the world, in my opinion, was destroyed. At many games in the stands in Edmonton, we only saw specialists, agents and parents of hockey players. A painful sight.
The NHL World Cup in a life-size format will destroy that iron curtain. Everyone will see that the interests of politicians have replaced the interests of sport – and there is an urgent need to return to common sense.
I have no doubt that in the name of the most lucrative Canada-Russia or USA-Russia final, the NHL will rule out any political motive. On the contrary, in the current situation, the participation of our team will add “pepper” and ratings to any tournament”, quotes Russia-Hockey.ru Kovalenko.
