Captain military expert of the first rank of the reserve Vasily Dandykin said that the former goalkeeper of Moscow CSKA Ivan Fedotov service in the military will not prevent you from leaving for a National Hockey League (NHL) club, since restrictions on leaving the country only apply to contract soldiers.
On Friday July 1, 25-year-old Fedotov was arrested in St. Petersburg on suspicion of escaping military service. The hockey player requested medical assistance at the assembly point of the military registration and enlistment office due to an exacerbation of gastritis on the background of a nervous breakdown. As it became known from , the athlete is currently in the hospital of the Ministry of Defense in Severodvinsk. In May, Fedotov signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers club in the NHL.
Will serving in secret facilities keep you from going to the NHL? I don’t think that will be discussed. All submarines are only for contractors, that’s out of the question. We have decided that only contracted servicemen also serve on surface ships. Yes, there are a number of years when they are forbidden to be abroad, but this does not threaten him.
Previously, all members of the hockey team were officers. Now many of our athletes have titles. For example, Alexander Bolshunov is the captain of the National Guard, his main service is the ski race for the glory of the Fatherland.
Ivan is now in the hospital. Most likely, there he will meet the guys who are being treated for injuries received in the special operation zone in Ukraine. When I meet such people, there is a better time to understand the truth of what is happening. Yes, an athlete, but the time has come, – Dandykin said on the air of the show “There is a theme!” on MatchTV.
Last season, Fedotov won the Gagarin Cup with CSKA and the Olympic Games silver medalist. He was recognized as the best goaltender of the season in the KHL.
