Russian hockey player Ivan Fedotov plays for the Navy team at the Armed Forces Championship
Russian goalkeeper Ivan Fedotov, drafted into the army last summer, plays for the Russian Navy in the Russian Armed Forces Ice Hockey Championship. This became known to the Telegram channel “Outside Leningradka”.
The tournament takes place in St. Petersburg at the Hockeyny Sports Palace. In the second round, the hockey player missed a lacrosse goal from the striker of the Central Military District Evgeny Kutuzov. According to the source, participation in the championship of the Armed Forces will complete Fedotov’s military service.
On July 1, 2022, Fedotov was detained in St. Petersburg on suspicion of evading military service. He had to fly to the United States to play for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League next season.
Later, Fedotov was taken to the training unit of the Russian Navy for military service. He took the oath behind closed doors on July 13, 2022. The player’s lawyer filed a complaint to invalidate the commission’s decision to draft.
