Stéphane Da Costa has not taken “any steps to be naturalized” Russian, assures the president of the French Ice Hockey Federation

“It was important for me to have Stéphane, told us the one who has been the boss of the FFHG since October 2021. He told me that he had been more or less set up by a group of supporters. Above all, he confirmed to me his attachment to the French team, that his dream was to go to the 2026 Olympic Games. Which will be the case, if France, best second (from the Olympic Qualifying Tournament)is drafted. Of course, he insisted, telling me that he had not taken any steps to be naturalized. I am therefore surprised that the major French media are reporting information without verifying it. It’s a storm in a teacup. »
