The Canadian women’s team entered the group stage match of the 2022 Olympic Women’s Hockey Tournament in Beijing against Russia an hour later than expected. Details are given by the correspondent of “Lenta.ru”.
Both teams are wearing medical masks. It is noted that before the start of the match, the judges showed that the Canadians would be fined for two minutes for delaying the game, but the teams started the match in equal numbers. At the time of publication of the note, the score in the meeting was 2:0 in favor of the Canadians after the first period.
Initially, the meeting was supposed to start at 07:10 Moscow time, but it started an hour later. The reason was the refusal of the Canadians to go on the ice. The rival team demanded the results of tests for the coronavirus of the Russians.
On account of the Russians so far one victory and one defeat. In the first match, the hockey players turned out to be stronger than the Swiss with a score of 5:2. In the second meeting, they were defeated by the Americans – 5:0.
