Sweden and Finland are reportedly pushing back against the National Hockey League's (NHL) plan to hold the 2024 NHL All-Star Game in Russia, citing concerns over the country's human rights record and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The move comes as a surprise to many, as the NHL has been under pressure to take a stance on the issue. The two Nordic countries have traditionally been strong supporters of the NHL, with Sweden and Finland being among the most successful teams in the league's European competitions. The NHL's decision to hold the All-Star Game in Russia has sparked widespread criticism, with many calling for a boycott of the event.
