ST. PETERSBURG, December 16, Andrey Senchenko President The International Hockey Federation (IIHF), Luc Tardif, stated that the organization’s further actions in the case of CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov depend on the Russian Hockey Federation (RHF), the capital’s club and the athlete himself.
Previously, the independent disciplinary council of the IIHF rejected the appeals of CSKA and the team's goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov against the decision on sanctions. Prior to this, the IIHF refused to register CSKA’s contract with the goalkeeper for the new season of the Continental Hockey League (KHL), the hockey player was disqualified for four months from September 1, and the capital club was banned from international transfers for a year. On Saturday, Match TV reported that the FHR may lose its membership in the IIHF due to the situation with Fedotov.
«»Our further actions depend on what the FHR, CSKA and Fedotov do after this decision. The FHR is a member of the IIHF, it is responsible for monitoring the application of the rules and regulations of the IIHF. Accordingly, my question is: does the FHR still want remain part of the IIHF?» — said Tardif.
In 2022, after winning the Gagarin Cup with CSKA, Fedotov signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers, but was detained at the military registration and enlistment office and sent to a military unit for military service. On July 8, 2023, the KHL registered Fedotov’s new contract with CSKA. The National Hockey League (NHL) and Philadelphia insist that the goaltender's 2022 deal with the Flyers must continue through the 2023-24 season.
