Tretiak running for another term as Russian Hockey President; makes some interesting comments

Hockey Hall of Famer Vladislav Tretiak announced on Wednesday that he will run for another term as President of the Ice Hockey Federation of Russia.

In his statement, Tretiak said it is important for him to run for another four year term because he has a good relationship with the International Ice Hockey Federation and once the war with Ukraine is over, he wants to establish ties.

He also mentioned that he doesn't understand why sports and politics are so intertwined and why Russia has had the 2023 World Juniors and 2023 World Championship taken away from them.
