Athletistic/Hockey. Former Russian hockey player Vyacheslav Fetisov shared his opinion on the performance of Russians in the NHL.

“The NHL, unlike the IOC, maintains the sporting principle. It’s good that the league management shows the right attitude towards the principles. Regarding the performance of our guys abroad, we are worried for each of them. It doesn’t matter who is the winner or the loser,” Fetisov said.

The International Ice Hockey Federation has suspended the national teams of Russia and Belarus from participating in international tournaments at all levels. The NHL has not applied any sanctions to Russian hockey players.
