“In light of all the discussions, I have decided to call and find out directly from the International Ice Hockey Federation what the consequences might be if CSKA goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov steps onto the ice today and plays.
There are several possible scenarios for the development of events. However, the worst of them could affect Russian hockey for years to come.
First, if Fedotov plays, the game will happen, and then the KHL’s reaction to what happened will be important. If the KHL acts in accordance with the rules of the International Ice Hockey Federation, it will result in a forfeit defeat of CSKA and the imposition of a fine which CSKA will have to pay to the International Ice Hockey Federation, as well as a tight restriction. on transfers.
If the KHL does not react to the situation, then the International Ice Hockey Federation could conclude that the KHL supports CSKA’s position and bans the transfer of all players with non-Russian transfer cards. Federation to participate in KHL matches.
If the KHL does not respond to this and continues to register players, the International Ice Hockey Federation has the right to punish all players who participated in at least one game after the ban with disqualification from participation in all competitions under the auspices of the International Ice Hockey Federation. It is important to note that the American and Canadian federations are also members of the International Ice Hockey Federation. In other words, all players who played a game after the introduction of the ban will only be able to play in the KHL or NHL/AHL in the coming year.
If the Russian Ice Hockey Federation withdraws from the International Ice Hockey Federation, all players who participated in at least one game under the auspices of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation will be disqualified for two to three years from participation competitions organized under the auspices of the International Ice Hockey Federation. Moreover, by law, they will have to start their journey from the lowest league in the world championships when they return to the international scene.
I have presented these facts to you without any attempt to create a negative impression or cause panic. My goal is to provide objective information. Further actions will depend on how the situation develops.
