American Kenny Agostino said that he continued to play in the KHL because of the IIHF
American Kenny Agostino explained why he continued to play in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). He is quoted by Expressen.
“The International Hockey Federation (IIHF) was unable or unwilling to help with the termination of contracts concluded before the start of the special operation. If I just left, I would have to pay a huge amount of money to get rid of the contract,” he said. The athlete noted that in such a situation, players should not pay to terminate the contract.
Agostino spent two seasons in Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo. In September 2023, the forward signed a contract with the German Dusseldorf.
In February 2022, the IIHF suspended the Russian and Belarusian national teams from international tournaments. Against this background, many KHL legionnaires began to leave clubs.
