“An interesting turn of events. Ivan Fedotov, who has an active contract with Philadelphia in the National Hockey League (NHL), played the first game of the season for CSKA Moscow. This means that in this case, the federation, the league and club being part of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), for the first time deliberately ignored the sanctions imposed by this organization.
Ahead of today’s meeting between the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) and CSKA, a provocative statement was made saying that Russian law is in effect and no one can stop CSKA/KHL from allowing the involvement of Fedotov, who is under sanctions,” he said.
