Dynamo Moscow coach Alexei Kudashov thinks the guardian Ivan Fedotov after serving in the army, he will be able to regain physical and playing conditions.
Fedotov was drafted into the Russian Armed Forces for military service in the summer of 2022. At this time, Fedotov has completed his military service and flew to Dubai, from where he posts videos of his training on the networks social.
– Do you think that Ivan Fedotov will be able to return to the highest level?
– I did not communicate with him, I did not correspond. But several times I asked Sergey Naumov, the goalkeeper coach of CSKA and the Russian national team, about him. He contacts him.
It is so difficult to say how Ivan Fedotov will return. It’s hard to discuss and analyze because I don’t know what he did last year. Maybe he was in the unit, but had the opportunity to train. If he constantly practiced on the ice, I don’t think it would be a problem for such a great goalkeeper to get back to his level.
And if Fedotov did nothing at all, then it will take time to undergo physical training, to return all skills and movements. But even then, Ivan will pull through.
– Looks like a man broke his leg and didn’t play for a year?
Yes, there are many such cases. Especially if Fedotov had the opportunity to train, feel the hockey mood and engage in elementary physical training. All the same, after all, in the army they give physical training. So I think everything will be fine with Ivan Fedotov,” Kudashov said in an interview with .
The KHL refused to register Fedotov’s new contract with CSKA as the player’s status with the Philadelphia Flyers is still unclear. NHL vice-president Bill Daly told that Fedotov’s contract with Philadelphia is also valid for the 2023/24 season.
