TASS, 17 August. The clubs of the National Hockey League (NHL) were interested in the defender of the Yekaterinburg “Avtomobilist” Nikita Tryamkin in the current off-season. The hockey player told Sport-Express about this .

“At first, the situation with the NHL was going well, there was a lot of interest in me, and then everything turned the other way. We could still wait for offers, of course, but I think that during this time it was possible to find a common denominator if they really wanted to see me. Therefore, I decided to stay in Russia,” the defender said.

Tryamkin is 28 years old and has been playing for Avtomobilist since 2017. Previously played for the team from 2012 to 2016. In the 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons, the defender played for Vancouver.

According to the results of the regular season season 2022/23 Fonbet – Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), Avtomobilist took fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 68 points and lost to Metallurg Magnitogorsk in the first round of the playoffs with a score in the series 3-4. 

The new season of the Kontinental Hockey League starts on September 1st.

MOSCOW, 19 August. /corr. TASS Rustam Sharafutdinov/. The three-time winner of the Gagarin Cup CSKA must send to the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) the motivational part of its appeal against the suspension of goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov from international and national tournaments, as well as the club’s ban on international transfers, within the next 14 days. This was reported to TASS by a source.

On Friday, the press service of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation told TASS that it had submitted an appeal from CSKA to the IIHF Disciplinary Committee for consideration. The head of the international federation, Luc Tardif, confirmed receipt of the appeal.

“A notice of appeal was sent to the IIHF. CSKA has 14 days to send its motivational part,” the agency’s interlocutor said.

The IIHF suspended Fedotov from matches until the end of 2023 due to the fact that the player signed a contract with CSKA Moscow, although the validity of his agreement with the National Hockey League club Philadelphia, concluded a year ago, was postponed to the 2023-24 season.
