Former Hong Kong striker CSKA and the USSR national team Alexander Volchkov hopes the goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov will contribute more of his skill to the victories of the army.
Fedotov signed a rookie contract with Philadelphia in July 2022, but was drafted into the military for a year. After returning from service, he signed a two-year contract with CSKA. On Saturday, the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) announced that it had registered Fedotov’s contract with CSKA. “” reported that the 26-year-old goalkeeper will earn 50 million rubles in each of the following seasons.
– I think Fedotov made the right decision. For an accomplished athlete, a season is not such a serious loss, not too long a break. It’s good that during the service Fedotov kept in shape, went out on the ice and participated in tournaments. This will help him adapt and regain his level. He will be given playing time, the season to regain his best form should be enough. Moreover, CSKA’s main games of the season will start in the playoffs.
The figure of goalkeeping coach Sergei Naumov is also important here. He knows how to coach hockey players. In the playoffs, the goaltender represents more than half of the team, and each season Naumov proves that he knows his stuff well.
Everyone wants Fedotov to bring even more of his skills to CSKA victories, where he was once invited and had the best season of his career. Let’s hope that Ivan will leave a big mark in CSKA history, Volchkov told Metaratings.ru.
