Team Russia U25 will not take part in the First Channel Cup
FHR President Vladislavk announced that the Russian U25 team would not take part in the Channel One Cup.
“From the idea to field another, young Russian U25 team, we now prefer preferences. A busy schedule of matches in the championship, the KHL All-Star Game, [плюс] All this was superimposed by the virus epidemic in many teams – it would be very convenient to gather players for two teams. At the same time, some of the guys from RU25 will play for the national team.
Of course, we do not refuse the RU25 project. Fans will see our star team in May, ”Tretiak quotes the FHR official website.
