The use of goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov in games for Moscow CSKA in Fonbet – Kontinental Hockey League does not change anything in the fact that the Russian Hockey Federation ( FHR ), the club CSKA and the player himself violate the transfer rules of the International Hockey Federation ( IIHF ), the head of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), Luc Tardif has reminded everyone, according to TASS.ru

On September 16, Fedotov played his fourth game in the current regular 2023-24 KHL season.

“The fact that Fedotov is playing more matches now does not change anything in the fact that FHR, CSKA and the player himself violate the IIHF transfer rules and do not respect contractual obligations from the moment, when he played the second match for the team. We are waiting for a meeting of the disciplinary council before making any announcement, ”Tardif said.

“They are an independent body and determine the time frame themselves.”

How We Got Here

On August 4, IIHF sided with the club of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) Philadelphia in a dispute with CSKA regarding the rights to Fedotov – the American club postponed the validity of its contract from season 2022/23 for the 2023/24 season due to the service of a hockey player in the army.

The International Ice Hockey Federation imposed a one-year ban on international transfers on CSKA, and Fedotov was disqualified from September 1 until the end of 2023, since he did not return to the Philadelphia Flyers of the NHL.

The Kontinental Hockey League allowed hockey club CSKA to declare Ivan Fedotov available for the KHL 2023-24 season start on September 1, after the Prosecutor General’s Office conveyed to the league and the FHR its position on the illegality of the IIHF decision in terms of the athlete’s rights to work.

After Fedotov played his first season game, the IIHF fined FHR $5.6 thousand.

On September 8, IIHF Luc Tardif informed TASS that the situation with the continuation of the imposition of sanctions should be considered by the organization’s council on September 10.

According to Tardif, the IIHF Council will discuss the second and third cases of violation by the goalkeeper and the transfer control club. FHR referred to the IIHF appeal of CSKA against decisions on the disqualification of Fedotov and and a ban on international transfers.

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.
