I haven’t read the article yet but how would it not be newsworthy based off the headline alone? A kids team from a country besieged by Russian forces where able to compete in an international hockey tournament. This is just as newsworthy as the miracle on ice, and that hockey game will be remembered forever.

If you want to be pedantic than no sports event is newsworthy unless there’s loss of life or corruption or something it’s just ‘sports’
