He must negotiate with the same hockey authorities who tried to derail him--and who still hate him for opening the floodgates out of Russia to the riches of the NHL for many players after him. Those players are now millionaire hockey stars, and although they owe their careers to Fetisov's bravery, he has nothing with which to recruit them for the Russian Olympic team...

"It's a great tribute to the French development system," says former French star Didier Deschamps, who last year ended his playing career to become head coach of Monaco.
