Why Is Russia Not in the 4 Nations Face-Off?

Russia is not allowed to participate in the 4 Nations Face-Off because the NHL, which is running the tournament, is following the International Ice Hockey Federation’s (IIHF) ban.

The IIHF has barred Russia and Belarus from participating in international competitions due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
