Next year’s ice hockey world championship will be moved away from St Petersburg in Russia, the International Ice Hockey Federation said on Tuesday, due to concerns about the well-being of players and officials after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“An alternative host for the World Championship will be confirmed during the 2022 IIHF Annual Congress in Tampere, Finland, which will take place during the final week of the 2022 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship,” the statement added.
