Finnish hockey players Source: SITA / AP / Matt Slocum STOCKHOLM – Swedish and Finnish hockey players who signed a new contract in the KHL after February 24 will not be able to represent their national teams. The Nordic hockey federations announced this on Monday, but it is not yet clear whether the decision also applies to the World Cup. These will take place in Finland from 13 to 29 May. “Players who signed a contract before the war will be able to play. We would like no Swedes to play in the KHL. However, leaving is difficult and dependent on them,” Johan Stark, general secretary of the Swedish Hockey Association, told AFP. 🏒 Ice hockey players from Finland and Sweden who play in the Russian Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) and other leagues in Russia will not be selected for their national teams, the two countries’ ice hockey associations said on Mondayhttps: //t.co/ BNSbAk18yA pic.twitter.com/dGJeZV1byN – The Telegraph (@Telegraph) May 2, 2022 Author: © Zoznam PHOTO: Twitter / The Telegraph Source: TASR
