The International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) announced Saturday that Philadelphia Flyers goalie Ivan Fedotov, CSKA Moskva, and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation (RIHF) would all be getting sanctioned as punishment for their roles in not honoring Fedotov’s valid contract with the Flyers.
After the results of the 2024 NHL Draft Lottery, it’s official: the Philadelphia Flyers hold the 12th overall pick in the draft. This might seem like a small consolation prize after, to put it bluntly, choking away a playoff spot.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the Philadelphia Flyers defined what it meant to be a winning franchise. From their 1972-73 campaign through 1988-89, they made it to the Stanley Cup Final six different times, winning two championships in the process.
The International Ice Hockey Federation recently sanctioned Philadelphia Flyers goalie Ivan Fedotov, CSKA Moscow, and the Russian Federation. Fedotov is prohibited from participating in any IIHF competitions, including the Olympics, for a period of three years.
The International Ice Hockey Federation has levied sanctions against the goaltender, KHL club CSKA Moskva and the Russian Ice Hockey Federation.
