MOSCOW, Sep 13 Member of the Executive Committee of the Slovak Ice Hockey Federation, world champion and Stanley Cup winner Michal Gandzush resigned due to the decision of the executive committee of the organization to continue calling players from the Continental Hockey League (KHL) to the national team. The executive committee made such a decision last week. Previously, the decision not to invite players from the KHL to the national teams was made by the hockey federations of the Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland and Latvia. «I will resign as a member of the executive committee, and will also lay down all my duties in the organization. players from the KHL can continue to represent Slovakia in international tournaments, and I respect this. However, this is contrary to my values, so in such circumstances I cannot imagine my future work in any capacity in the federation, «said Handzush, quoted by sport .sk. Currently, eight Slovak hockey players play in the KHL: goalkeepers Julius Gudachek (Barys, Kazakhstan), Patrick Ribar (Spartak, Moscow) and Adam Huska (Torpedo, Nizhny Novgorod), defenders Michal Chaikovsky ( Siberia, Novosibirsk) and Christian Yarosh (Avangard, Omsk), forwards Samuel Buchek (Neftekhimik, Nizhnekamsk), Michal Krishtof (Admiral, Vladivostok) and Adam Lischka (Severstal, Cherepovets).
