On the way home from the U20 World Cup in Canada, the Russian national ice hockey team causes a scandal.

The plane to Frankfurt takes off without them.

Frankfurt / Calgary - There weren't many reasons to really let yourself go on the way to Frankfurt Airport * for the Russian U20 national ice hockey team. The World Cup tournament in Canada had just been canceled due to the increasing number of corona cases *. Instead of playing for the title at the prestigious event in Edmonton, the young Russians had to fly home. And even that ended in disaster.

It is not unusual for AirCanada's flight AC848 to take off from Calgary on New Year's Eve (December 31, 2021) with a delay of several hours for Frankfurt Airport *.

However, as the Calgary Herald reports, the problem was not of a technical nature.

Rather, the Russian ice hockey players smoked on board the Boeing 787-9, did not wear mouth and nose protection and ignored all instructions from on-board personnel and the police.

Frankfurt Airport: Ice hockey players cause a scandal - and have to leave the plane

The result: all passengers had to leave the plane. The luggage of the ice hockey players was cleared again. The Czech U20 team was also not allowed to make the journey to Frankfurt. Compared to the Calgary Herald, their team manager denied that his team had behaved wrongly. Rather, the similar look of the sweatshirts gave a wrong impression.

According to an official of the Czech delegation, AirCanada apologized to the iDnes.cz portal for the misunderstanding, apparently with an overnight stay in a hotel and a flight to Frankfurt the next day - without the Russians on board. On Twitter, some passengers shared the spectacle in Calgary with the world. With a delay of three hours, the AirCanada plane finally landed on New Years Day (01/01/2022) at 2.15 p.m. at Frankfurt Airport.

In terms of sport, things didn't go well for the Russian team either.

Of the three preliminary round games played, two were lost.

The German team came back from the canceled U20 World Cup in Canada with a win after extra time (2: 1 against the Czech Republic) and a defeat (1: 3 against Finland).

The junior title fights in Canada have always been a big event and in North America they also get a huge response from the media.
