Athletistic/ Hockey. Last year, Russian goaltender Ivan Fedotov signed with the Philadelphia Flyers but didn’t make it to the United States due to military conscription. After returning from service, Fedotov signed a new contract with CSKA. Because of this, a conflict arose between the KHL and the NHL. The IIHF decided to disqualify Fedotov for several months, and CSKA banned the registration of newcomers. This was expressed by KHL President Alexei Morozov.
– The situation with Fedotov, which has developed in this offseason, is really difficult. The league signed a contract with CSKA, but the FHR noted that Fedotov could not play for CSKA until December 31. The club’s lawyers are working, the league is working and we are all trying to help whoever has already missed the season due to military service. We spoke to him, he really wants to play. We will do our best to get Fedotov on the ice. If nothing changes before the start of the season, Fedotov will only be able to play on December 31. Technically, CSKA won’t be able to declare Fedotov for the game, Sport24 quotes Morozov.
