RED DEER – Slovak hockey players under the age of 20 scored a 1-0 victory over Russia at the Junior World Championships in Canada.
Wednesday’s B-group match (22.30 CET) could not take place because striker Matvej Mičkov had a positive coronavirus test and the entire Russian team had to go to quarantine. This was announced by the Russian Hockey Federation, and the information was confirmed to the Slovak team by the organizing committee of the World Cup. The next fate of the championship will be decided by the tournament directorate. According to the portal sport-express.ru, several hockey federations have approached the IIHF with a request to cancel the junior championship, because according to them it is in conflict with sports principles.
The Slovaks were already preparing for the match
“It’s awful. We’re getting ready for the match,” said in response to Sportnet striker SR Adam Sykora. According to the hockeyslovakia.sk website, instead of going to the stadium, the Slovak representatives stayed at the hotel in Red Deere, where they are staying. They are currently waiting for further instructions from the organizers, which should come from an extraordinary meeting of the tournament directorate. Instead of a match, they had to complete a training unit at the Peavy Mart Center in the afternoon.
The questionable fate of the whole championship
Not only the fate of the Russian team is unclear, but also of the entire championship. “This begs the question – what secret games does the organizing committee of these World Youth Championships in Canada play?” declared Mičkov’s agent Fedotov. “Technical losses are not hockey, but circus. A test will be performed, it will be sent to the laboratory, then a positive result will appear. In this case, Matvej Mičkov. It’s a great feeling … I think a decision will be made within 24 hours. championship. “
René Fasel, the former head and honorary president of the IIHF, also indicated the possible cancellation of the ongoing World Cups. “Someone told me that two Russian players had a positive test. I don’t know more about that. But I know that Luc Tardiff (IIHF President) has asked the IIHF Council to discuss the status quo of the tournament. An hour or two more will be known.” quoted Fasela web championship.com.
