Luc Tardif, President of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), in an interview “Match TV” He said that the organization will make a statement regarding the situation with goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov after the end of the match between CSKA and Ak Bars.
The previous day, the head of the Continental Hockey League (KHL) Alexei Morozov said that the disqualified Fedotov will play with the Ak Bars.
“What will the IIHF’s reaction be to the KHL and CSKA statement? What sanctions could come? Tardif said, “IIHF will make a statement after the match between CSKA and Ak Bars is over.”
On August 14, the IIHF penalized CSKA with a one-season international transfer ban. In addition, the team’s goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov will not be able to play in the Continental Hockey League until 31 December 2023. On August 27, the Russian Hockey Federation (RHF) allowed Fedotov to play from January 1, 2024. So CSKA will start the new season without him.
