The Russian Hockey Federation (RIHF) emphasises that in accordance with Federal Law No. 329-FZ of 4 December 2007 concerning Physical Culture and Sports in the Russian Federation, sporting agents are subject to accreditation in order to work in the Russian Federation. Working with non-accredited sporting agents entails the application of sanctions including fines and disqualification for both the players and employees of ice hockey clubs. The current list of accredited agents is available on the RIHF website in the "Hockey Agents" section.
