Rumors are swirling! In a call that's got everyone hooked, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin may have him planned something more than just a ceasefire in Ukraine. The two powerhouses were reported to have brainstormed about ice hockey games between the North American NHL and Russia-dominated KHL!
Here's the lowdown! It's said that ol' Trump is all in on this prospect, along with Putin, thinking it'd be amazing for both countries to host games featuring superstar players from the NHL and KHL.
But guess who wasn't in on this juicy secret? Yep, you got it—the NHL.
In a typically non-combative response, the league simple stated they couldn't weigh in at the moment, citing appropriateness. Bummer for 'em, huh? 🙄
Rumor has it, Russian ice hockey players are welcomed by the NHL, but their homeland is still in a bit of a sporting standoff with the world governing body, IIHF. The ban's due to the current security situation, wreaking havoc on Alpine skiing, figure skating, and, yep, ice hockey competitions[1][2].
Well, the dialogues between Putin and Trump had already heated up since Trump's return to the White House on January 20. This is a far cry from the chillier days of relation with ex-commander Joe Biden, who had frozen things up courtesy of Russia's invasion of Ukraine[1].
But now? Now the boys are talking again, with Trump's recent efforts to break the ice and thaw relations[1].
Of course, all this talk about ice hockey and grand gestures aside, the situation between Ukraine and 🇷🇺 remains a thorny spanner in the works. Will the games go on? Only time will tell, folks!
