Moscow To Host US-Russia Hockey Match Week Of July 4th

Moscow To Host US-Russia Hockey Match Week Of July 4th

Published by Jenni Sidey

The world’s two largest nuclear powers are apparently turning to old school, Cold War-style sports diplomacy to thaw out their deeply frozen bilateral relations, even as there’s as yet no solution to the grinding Russia-Ukraine war. Russian and American ice hockey players are scheduled to face off in Moscow on July 1. President Vladimir Putin first proposed holding hockey matches between Russian and American players in both countries during a direct phone call with President Trump. Getty Images Soon after that March 2025 phone call the Kremlin noted at the time that Trump had “expressed support” for the initiative. According to the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia (AmCham Russia), the event is part of a broader series of matches. Notably the initial match is timed just ahead of the milestone 250th anniversary of US independence on July 4th. “We hope this will help melt the ice that formed between us,” AmCham Russia President Robert Agee said Thursday. The announcement was made at the 29th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which is currently ongoing. He confirmed that Russia and …

Stephen Kalyn on Leading ‘Off Campus’ Season 2, His Hockey Past

Stephen Kalyn on Leading ‘Off Campus’ Season 2, His Hockey Past

Published by Daniella Wilson

Off Campus star Stephen Kalyn is no stranger to the world of hockey. The 28-year-old actor spent much of his young adult life at the hockey rink, playing the sport since the age of 6 and finished his minor hockey career in the AA tier. “That’s what I wanted to do as a kid and all throughout my adolescence, that’s kind of the life I wanted,” he tells The Hollywood Reporter on a recent Zoom. The actor manages to exude levels of charm through a computer screen that would put his Off Campus character Dean Di Laurentis to shame. He seems genuinely excited to talk about his character and is always ready to throw love toward his fellow costars. Towards the end of high school, it became apparent to Kalyn that hockey wasn’t going to pan out. “I could have continued playing and tried, but I knew it wasn’t going to be,” he says. “I could still love the game no matter what, whether or not I’m playing it or not. Luckily, I found acting,” …

IIHF Says It Will Determine Russia’s Eligibility on a Tournament-By-Tournament Basis in 2026-27

IIHF Says It Will Determine Russia’s Eligibility on a Tournament-By-Tournament Basis in 2026-27

Published by Sam Flores

ZURICH (AP) — The International Ice Hockey Federation said Friday it will determine the status of Russia’s participation on an event-by-event basis for the 2026-27 season. The decision to evaluate eligibility on a case-by-case basis comes after a January decision to bar Russian teams, including at the youth level, was annulled following an appeal from the Russian Ice Hockey Federation. But that was not a reversal of course, as the IIHF said its disciplinary board “explicitly confirmed that this does not mean that Russia has automatically been reintegrated.” Earlier this week, the IIHF announced it would reintegrate Belarus at the under-18 men’s and women’s events and the women’s Division IV world championship beginning this year. Belarus had also not been allowed to play since aiding Russia in its war in Ukraine. The IIHF Council said the decision to bring back some teams from Belarus was not taken lightly. “Based on the assessments conducted and ongoing consultations with relevant stakeholders, we believe this can be done in a safe, responsible, and controlled manner,” the council said …
