Defender and captain of Ufa “Salavat Yulaev” Grigori Panin believes that the detention of the goalkeeper of the Russian national team Ivan Fedotov may be due to the hockey player’s decision to continue his career in the NHL.
Panin previously posted on social media in support of Fedotov, who was arrested in St Petersburg in July on suspicion of escaping military service.
– I don’t really understand the situation that can affect any athlete, especially young guys starting their way. All athletes dream of leaving for the NHL, because it is the best league, all the conditions are created there.
As for the specific situation, it cannot be considered unilaterally. I can’t know the legal part of this question, but if we take a purely sporting principle, then Vanya is the main goalkeeper of the Russian national team and CSKA, who has brought results and proven a lot over the years . The unpleasant situation that happened to him should not be discussed in sports. Clearly the media should help draw attention to this, but the military ticket situation has not just come to light. He (Fedotov) played for the team, had a military ID, but decided to try his hand at the NHL – and someone didn’t like it, “said Panin in the program” There has a theme! on MatchTV.
As it became known from , Fedotov will take the military oath on August 6. Until this day, the 25-year-old goalkeeper will remain in the Severodvinsk training unit. According to sources, after six months of “training”, Fedotov will be assigned to a ship or submarine. The Ice Hockey Federation of Russia (FHR) said earlier that it had asked state authorities to clarify the details of the case.
