The IIHF suspended goalkeeper Fedotov for 3 years from participation in all tournaments under its auspices, including the 2026 Olympics
The Disciplinary Council of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) decided to suspend Russian goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov from participation in all competitions under its auspices, including the 2026 Olympic Games, according to the official website of the IIHF.
Last August, the IIHF announced that Fedotov had violated his professional player’s contract by signing an agreement with CSKA Moscow without the permission of the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers, with whom he has an existing contract. The hockey player was disqualified for four months starting September 1, 2023. CSKA was also punished with a ban on international transfers for a period of one year starting from August 11, 2023.
Last season, 27-year-old Fedotov played 44 matches for CSKA in the KHL regular season, in which he won 21 victories with a reliability coefficient of 2.37 and 91.4% of reflected shots. He also has five matches and one victory in the Gagarin Cup.
In the spring, Fedotov terminated his contract with CSKA and moved to Philadelphia.
