Austria becomes the seventh team to refuse to play against Russia at the 2027 Hockey World Championship
The Austrian Ice Hockey Federation has stated that it will not take the ice against the Russian national team at the 2027 World Championship in Germany, but it does not intend to boycott the tournament itself. Six European teams had previously taken a similar position. The reason was the CAS decision that lifted the suspension of Russian hockey teams on October 30.
