The NHL has added its voice to the chorus of criticism of Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
And it did more than simply offer some harsh words.
A statement released by the league Tuesday read:
"The National Hockey League condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine and urges a peaceful resolution as quickly as possible. Effective immediately, we are suspending our relationships with our business partners in Russia and we are pausing our Russian language social and digital media sites. In addition, we are discontinuing any consideration of Russia as a location for any future competitions involving the NHL.
