Two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov said that the Continental Hockey League and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation should not rely on the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) in the case of CSKA goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov. Kozhevnikov quotes “Soviet sport”.
“The IIHF said it would be some kind of warning, but we’ll see how that unfolds. To accept or not is their business. So I don’t know if we should stay. I would send them, this isn’t the first time I’ve said it. What’s the problem here? What do they have to do with us in general? Kozhevnikov said:
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.
