FHR suspended Russian junior national team coach Titov for six months
The Russian Hockey Federation (RHF) punished the Russian junior team (under 18 years old) for refusing awards at the international Future Cup tournament in Minsk. This is reported on the organization’s website.
The FHR suspended the head coach of the Russian junior national team, Alexander Titov, from work for six months. It is noted that goalkeeper Pyotr Andreyanov, as well as forwards Egor Surin and Vadim Dudorov, each received a three-match suspension.
The Russian junior team refused awards at the Future Cup on February 10. Domestic athletes lost in overtime to the youth team of Belarus, made up of players no older than 20 years old, with a score of 5:6 and should have received medals for second place.
After this, the senator of Belarus, former chairman of the country’s Hockey Federation, Dmitry Baskov, called the behavior of the Russians unacceptable. He felt that this was contrary to the friendship and support that has always existed between the countries.
