Nikita Zadorov, a Calgary Flames defenseman, has been the first player to speak out against the war in Ukraine in the National Hockey League of Russian origins. In an interview with Russian YouTuber Yuri Dud about his fellow players' reaction to the outbreak of the war and their lack of an answer, Zadorov, a ten-year NHL veteran, talked about his teammates' reactions to the war and their lack of an understanding. In the early days of the war, the defenseman said a chat was created for Russian hockey players in the league's social messaging platform Telegram, where they began discussing making a collective statement.
