Down-the-line.com/Hockey. CSKA President Igor Esmantovich clarified that the Moscow club was in no way involved in the fate of former team goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov. On July 1, he was arrested in St. Petersburg on suspicion of escaping military service. Later he was sent to the military unit.

Esmantovich was asked if a hockey player could serve this term in CSKA, and not in the army.

A relative of goaltender Fedotov says the NHL is ready to wait for the hockey player

“Which CSKA? Sports enterprises, CSKA – some kind of hodgepodge. The hockey player has a contract with an American club. What do you want to hear from me?

I served in my day. Probably, according to the law, he was drawn and he serves, “quotes Esmantovich “Sport Express”.
