MOSCOW, August 3, Sergey Fuks. Goalkeeper of the Moscow hockey club CSKA Ivan Fedotov told reporters that he does not follow the situation with the contract and does not discuss it with the agent.
Continental Hockey League (KHL) July 8 registered Fedotov's contract with CSKA. Earlier, the National Hockey League (NHL) and the Philadelphia Flyers announced that the goalkeeper's agreement, concluded in 2022, will be valid in the 2023/24 season.
“How do you manage to ignore the hype? You just come to the arena and go about your business. You spend more time at the stadium, don’t go in and don’t read unnecessary information that will distract you, that’s all. It’s not my concern, not my prerogative «My task is to be in order and control my routine. I don't discuss the situation with the agent and the club. We work within the framework that everyone does their own thing. The agent has his own activity, I have my own. They are parallel and do not intersect,» Fedotov said.
In 2022, Fedotov signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers NHL club, but was detained by the military registration and enlistment office and sent to the unit for military service. The Russian Ice Hockey Federation stated that they would insist on strict adherence to the rules of international transfers in the situation with the goalkeeper's contract.
