RIHF statement concerning the situation with Ivan Fedotov
10.07.2023
Goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL) in April 2022. However, as a consequence of serving in the Russian Armed Forces, he did not fulfill his contract obligations.
Following the completion of his national service in the summer of 2023, Fedotov signed a contract with CSKA Moscow. The agreement was registered in the database of the Kontinental Hockey League's (KHL) central information bureau.
The Russian Ice Hockey Federation (RIHF) assesses the situation as an ambiguous one which requires a detailed analysis and a legal resolution. In order for this to happen, it is necessary to obtain official information from the NHL with regard to Fedotov's contract status. It will only be possible to make a decision concerning the player's participation in the KHL following consultations with the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).
As a member of the IIHF, the RIHF will insist on the KHL's strict adherence to the IIHF's international transfer rules and regulations. Any violation could lead to negative consequences for Russian ice hockey.
