Athletistic/Hockey. One of the main news stories in July was Russian national hockey team goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov. He was detained and taken to the military police station, then sent to the place of military service. Fedotov is now part of a military unit of the Arkhangelsk region. This was voiced by striker “Ak Bars” Vadim Shipachyov. He speculated on the subject of a possible return to athletic form after serving in the military.

– It depends on how many Fedotovs will serve. If he goes a whole year without hockey or training, it’s very hard. It is clear that the guy is only 25 years old and can immediately get into shape. Look at Slavka Voinov – he didn’t play for a whole year, but he came out and was in order in the KHL.

There are players who can do it. And there are those who will miss three or four months and will no longer be able to regain their peak form. I hope Fedotov belongs to the first type and everything will be fine with him. I can only express words of support to Ivan. A cool guard, and he probably didn’t think it would happen to him instead of Philadelphia,” Match TV Shipachyov quotes.

Last season, Ivan Fedotov became the silver medalist of the 2022 Olympics in the Russian team, as well as the owner of the Gagarin Cup in CSKA. After that, Fedotov was to join the Philadelphia Flyers.
