A well-known sports commentator and TV presenter, Dmitry Guberniev, weighed in on the controversy surrounding Alexander Khokhlachev, a forward with Khabarovsk Amur, who reportedly jumped onto another person’s car. The remarks attributed to him appeared in a report by RB Sports, cited by Guberniev.
Guberniev urged that the matter be resolved through proper legal channels, suggesting that law enforcement should take the lead rather than the hockey club. He noted that the individual involved appeared to be intoxicated and described the incident as a potential criminal offense, calling for a formal police response and close scrutiny by authorities.
The incident reportedly occurred on the night of October 15 in Khabarovsk, following Amur’s defeat to Ak Bars in a Kontinental Hockey League regular season game. Accounts indicate Khokhlachev was strolling with friends when he noticed a car along the roadside, ran to it, and jumped onto the hood before climbing onto the roof, drawing attention from bystanders and authorities alike.
Amur’s management said they are actively investigating the events, including reviewing the movements and statements of other players, such as defender Viktor Baldaev and forward Vyacheslav Gretsky. It was also noted that Khokhlachev had not scored a goal in 11 consecutive matches, a statistic that the club and league officials are considering as part of their broader assessment alongside police inquiries and league reviews.
In a separate development, Khokhlachev had previously faced legal scrutiny under a separate incident that involved a formal complaint or disciplinary action bearing the label associated with a name used in an incident report. The situation remains under review by the relevant authorities and the league’s disciplinary bodies as more information becomes available.
