Defender”metallurgist » Egor Yakovlev expressed the opinion that Fonbet clubs of the KHL championship should do to popularize hockey in Russia.
– Talk more about hockey on federal channels. A hockey player should be more recognizable – you need to take athletes to events. My opinion: in our country, hockey deserves more attention than football. We have won much more – we are Olympic champions, world champions, at club level, Metallurg has won analogues of the Champions League in football and the Europa League – our hockey is not ashamed at the international level. But if you turn on the TV, football is everywhere. We need to talk about hockey, – Yakovlev is quoted by Sport Day by Day.
This season, 31-year-old Yakovlev has played in 38 KHL regular season games and scored 18 (6+12) points with a +5 utility rating.
