Head coach of Metallurg Magnitogorsk Andrei Razin urged Samara officials not to abandon hockey in Tolyatti and help the Continental Hockey League (KHL) club Lada. The expert stated this at the press conference he held after the match.
“I want to appeal to the authorities of the Samara region. Lada became the first non-Moscow club to become champions of Russia. Men are fighting and struggling. Please do hockey in Tolyatti, it is a great outlet for the city,” said Razin.
