SKA hockey club head coach Roman Rotenberg commented on Brendan Leipsik’s decision to obtain Russian citizenship. Rotenberg’s words tell “Match TV”.
“When we talked to Brendan about moving to the SKA, he said, ‘My wife St. He doesn’t want any place other than Petersburg,” he said.
This is not about the foreign player limitation in KHL. Not the fact that he will not remain a legionnaire. You can get a Russian passport, but you cannot change your sports citizenship.
After all, Brendan was offended in North America. He said something in internal team chat and was accused of bullying, kicked out of Washington.
And now she wants to be a part of our culture. “Rotenberg honestly and sincerely loves Russia,” he said.
Leipsik played 65 games in the 2022/23 KHL regular season, scoring 11 goals and 33 assists.
The new KHL season will kick off on September 1, 2023, with the Opening Cup match at CSKA Arena. The current winner of the Gagarin Cup CSKA and last season’s finalist will face Ak Barsom.
