Goalkeeper Fedotov told how his separation from hockey CSKA happened

Former CSKA goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov told how his contract with the Moscow hockey club was terminated.

In the summer of 2022, Fedotov signed a rookie contract with Philadelphia, but he was called up for military service. Upon completion of his service, the goalkeeper signed a two-year agreement with CSKA Moscow. On March 28, the capital club announced the termination of the contract with the hockey player. The army team retained the sports rights to the goalkeeper in Russia. On March 29, the Flyers announced Fedotov’s transfer.

“We made this decision jointly with the club. We came to this agreement. It is what it is. It was a good time, we won the Gagarin Cup. And there were good years for the club. At the same time, I think that the most interesting things are yet to come. CSKA is waiting for a new round of history. Let’s see how life turns out.

I am grateful for the trust that CSKA has shown me this season. There were certain difficulties, difficult moments – gaming, psychological, physical. And all together. There are a lot of factors. But they let me play. They gave me the opportunity to prove myself. I treat everything that happened with gratitude and understanding. I wish CSKA nothing but the best. It happens, this is the hockey world. A career can be big, long and hard. And this sometimes happens in it,” the Match TV website quotes Fedotov as saying.
