Athletistic/Hockey. Former Russian national team coach Igor Zakharkin shared his opinion on the situation that happened with Ivan Fedotov.

Recall that the Russian national team goalkeeper was arrested in early July on suspicion of escaping military service and was later sent to a military unit in Severodvinsk.

“The story surprised me. I’m not aware of the nuances, but I don’t remember such cases in the history of our hockey. In the army clubs where I worked, this question has been decided by management. There are managers, agents, lawyers who deal with it. After all, players trust their destiny in clubs.

Are they taking revenge on Fedotov for refusing to play further at CSKA? It’s only speculation. I have no facts,” Zakharkin said.
