President of the Russian Hockey Federation (FHR) Vladislav Tretyak spoke about the situation with the goalkeeper of the Russian national hockey team Ivan Fedotov .
In July, Fedotov was arrested in St. Petersburg on suspicion of escaping military service, the hockey player was taken to Severodvinsk. As it became known to , the 25-year-old keeper will remain in City in the training unit until the oath is taken.
– In the summer, all Russian hockey lives on the theme of Ivan Fedotov. How would you comment on the situation?
“The law is the same for everyone,” Tretyak told . — Every athlete thinks about his future. Study or serve – there is no alternative.
– Fedotov was the national team’s first goalkeeper last season. Are there any options for him to serve at CSKA?
These are questions for his agent. In a conversation with Ivan, I offered to stay for another year. I think he needs more experience so he could go to the NHL. But it’s his decision. I want to wish him to get out of this situation quickly, so they should decide with the agent.
Fedotov is the silver medalist of the 2022 Olympics, the winner of the Gagarin Cup with CSKA. In May, the goaltender signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers club in the NHL.
