Russia will not disappear from the hockey map! – Hockey News
The times in the yard are extremely difficult, but this is not a reason for interest in the development of Russian hockey. our team suspended from participation in international tournaments. Accordingly, in order for us to have no data from the hockey broadcast, everything must be done to ensure that the fans have something to watch. Partly for this, the FHR created a new team of domestic young stars, which was named “Russia 25”.
The analogy with its name is easily and simply traced. The fact is that the tournament at the pre-season tournament Sochi Hockey Open of the participants of the Russian national team among a variety of players was under the age of 25 years. The team that Vladimir Filatov meets has a clear link to age. She won’t be here. The new team of the best young Russian hockey players received a well-promoted and already well-known brand for hockey fans. This is absolutely logical, because it is easy to twist some kind of story than to start writing a new one from scratch. This is how it worked, works and will always work.
The team will be completed with players who are likely to become the main star of our hockey. In the context of an international ban, it is extremely important that the guys do not forget what it is like to wear a sweater with a double-headed eagle on the chest. this feeling. This is extremely important. It does not necessarily mean that this whole story will ever end. Our hockey players must be mentally prepared to become worthy of an international tournament organization. “The national team is an opportunity to raise the status of a player, and putting on the jersey of your country is forever. Here the organizers must put the top five. And the hockey players themselves understand that this is not done for Rotenberg or Tretyak, but for themselves,” – there remains only agreement with the words of the honored coach of Russia Yuri Novikov, who positively assessed the idea in the opinion of the Russia 25 team.
The head coach of SKA is heading the new team Roman Rotenberg. The specialist quickly finds experience in the St. Petersburg club. There he is surrounded by wonderful assistants in the person of Konstantin Shafranov, Evgeny Koreshkov, Albert Leshchev and Sergey Zubov. Accordingly, a young coach has someone to learn and gain knowledge from. The most important thing is that this process is ongoing, and the results of its storage are evident. As of the moment the SKA appeared, a consolidated tournament series of the KHL championship was emerging. Hence, it can be included that Rotenberg took his team to success. Why, in this case, not to entrust the team of a rising star to a young novice specialist who shows quite serious results?
The program of “Russia 25” is quite extensive. From 12 to 15 December, the team will play in Moscow at the First Channel Cup. Despite all the current restrictions, teams from Belarus and Kazakhstan will take part. That is, the spirit of rivalry with the national teams of other countries will not disappear. It goes without saying that it is to bring such importance to the level, it is extremely important for yesterday’s youth team players and for those teams that were not lucky enough to touch the most beautiful player in the world and play in the World Youth Championship. It is also important to note the fact that all these games are held in Moscow, with their own fans. Can you imagine that these guys will be chosen, going out on the ice, when the stadium will be chanting “Russia, Russia!” to a crowded stadium?
And the team “Russia 25” next year will hold a tour of the country. Its exact program is still unknown, but it is a very correct step in adapting to the popularization of hockey in the markets. Hockey fans who do not live in Moscow, to put it mildly, are not spoiled, they have the opportunity to see the live game of the Russian national team, and for them the arrival of this team will be a wonderful opportunity to fulfill their old dream and cheer on the stadium for the national team of their country.
In a word, the creation of the Russia 25 team solves two problems at once. This opportunity will give young and promising guys the opportunity to try on the jersey of the Russian national team and influence the external level, as well as to appeal to the fans of the opportunity to see their views on the national team. In conditions when it is extremely important for us to keep the high level of our favorite game, this task is a priority. And the new team is ready to help solve it.
