Shimon Shemberg, former spokesperson of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), spoke on his Twitter account about the situation of goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov, who went on the ice within the scope of CSKA Moscow despite the IIHF ban.
“KHL can now be considered a rogue league that does not abide by any international rules. This probably means that we will not be able to see Russia in any IIHF tournaments in the near future,” Schemberg wrote.
Recall that despite the sanctions of the IIHF, Ivan Fedotov participated in the match with Ak Bars. The sanctions included penalizing CSKA with a one-season international transfer ban and disqualifying Ivan Fedotov until December 31, 2023. This decision was made because the army club signed a deal with Fedotov despite having a valid contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.
