Tretiak says Russia will seek compensation if barred from world juniors in Alberta
Tretiak said Russia will seek compensation and sanctions if its team is excluded, as several federations have vowed not to play against it.
- Russian hockey federation president Vladislav Tretiak threatened Thursday to seek compensation from Canada if Russia's team is barred from next month's World Junior Hockey Championship in Alberta.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney stated last week that Russian and Belarusian athletes cannot represent their countries in Canada due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, overriding a recent Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling.
- Refusing to play against Russian teams, several hockey federations including Finland, Sweden, Czechia, and Norway prompted Tretiak to ask the International Ice Hockey Federation to investigate and punish the boycotting organizations.
- Norway's hockey federation reported Sunday that the IIHF indicated Russia might replace them in the tournament beginning December 26 in Edmonton and Red Deer, leaving Norway's participation uncertain despite qualifying.
- Tretiak told TASS the IIHF must "allow us to participate or, if we cannot enter Canada, move the championship, not hold it at all or impose sanctions on Canada.
