The executive committee of the Slovak Ice Hockey Union (SZLH) has decided that, unlike Sweden, Finland or the Czech Republic, it will not limit the starts of players who decided to play in the international competition, made up mainly of Russian clubs, even after Russia’s wartime invasion of Ukraine. The ice hockey union does not like the move to his long-time sponsor, Orange Slovakia, which wants to overthrow him. “We are not indifferent to the situation in Ukraine, which confirms our prompt involvement in aid after the outbreak of war. We contacted the union, expressed our concern, and we will continue to negotiate with this situation with the intention that they reconsider this decision,” said the company’s spokesperson Tomáš Palovský.
