general manager “Philadelphia” Daniel Brière expressed hope that the Russian goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov will be able to successfully start his career in North America.
In the summer of 2022, Fedotov signed a rookie contract with Philadelphia, but he was called up for military service. At the end of his service, the goalkeeper signed a two-year deal with CSKA Moscow. On March 28, the capital club announced the termination of the contract with the hockey player. The military team retained the goalkeeper’s sporting rights in Russia. The Flyers announced the transfer of Fedotov on Friday.
“He had to go through a lot in his career, including his personal life. He continues to fight, he continues to improve, that’s one of the important reasons why we decided to take him.
It’s been a long journey. We all expected him to come to us. I congratulate him for not giving up and for having this chance. I hope this is a new chapter in his career and he can start playing successfully in the NHL. “He will be with the team, will participate in training, the coaches will decide if he will play,” Brière said at a press conference.
