Vladislav Tretiak praised the possible exit of the FHR from the IIHF with the phrase “our children will not understand this”
President of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation (RHF) Vladislav Tretyak spoke about the possible withdrawal of the organization from the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). His words are reported by Match TV.
Tretyak appreciated this scenario with the phrase “our children will not understand this.” “A boy who starts to study, who does he want to become? He wants to win the Olympics, win the World Cup. And before that – at the junior level, at the youth level. Do you want to take away your dream by coming out from everywhere? he noted.
The head of the FHR called this move wrong and stressed that cooperation should be continued.
On March 22, the IIHF Council extended the suspension of the national teams of Russia and Belarus from tournaments. The organization said that the return of teams to the world stage is not safe. The national teams will not take part in all tournaments under the auspices of the organization until the end of the 2023/2024 season.
On February 28, 2022, the IIHF suspended the national teams of Russia and Belarus from participating in competitions under its auspices. Also, Russia was deprived of the right to host the 2023 World Cup and the youth championship of the planet.
