Athletistic/Hockey. Calgary Flames defenseman Nikita Zadorov has confirmed that Russian NHL players plan to issue a general statement regarding the geopolitical situation.

“Yes, I can confirm that we created a general discussion to organize a joint statement. Everyone had their own opinion, so they didn’t come up with anything in common. One of the hockey players suggested that, but I don’t. name,” Zadorov said.

Earlier, it was reported that the joint statement of Russian NHL players failed, as the discussion in the general chat did not yield results.

NHL management in the spring said contracts with the Russians would not be terminated and they would continue to play for their clubs.
