Athletistic/Hockey. This summer, goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov returned from the army and signed a new contract with CSKA. For this reason, a match was held between the KHL and the NHL. The fact is that the Philadelphia Flyers were convinced that he had a valid contract with the club. As a result, the IIHF imposed sanctions on the hockey player, the club and the FHR. However, Fedotov continues to roll on the ice within the red and blue colors. Many fear this could prompt the IIHF to decide to suspend the FHR’s membership. The head of the organization, Luc Tardif, answered the question on this subject.
— Can the IIHF suspend FHR membership because of the situation with Fedotov?
— It depends on what Fedotov, CSKA and FHR will do after this decision.
— So, in the worst case, a suspension of membership is possible?
“No comment,” SE said, quoting Tardif.
