The Belarusian Ice Hockey Association hosted the 2014 IIHF World Championship, and will co-host the 2021 IIHF World Championship.
Since September 9, 2020 the Belarus Ice Hockey Federation is headed by Dzmitry Baskau[1] who is accused of being involved in the killing of protester Raman Bandarenka. For this reason a travel ban against Baskau was imposed by the governments of Latvia and Estonia.[2]
