Athletistic/Hockey. Legendary referee Yuri Karandin believes that Sochi is of great importance for the development of domestic hockey players, unlike Asian KHL clubs.

“I have a lot of respect for our Asian neighbors. But I think that for Russian hockey, Sochi, where about ten young players race, is in some ways more useful than Kunlun or Barys, stuffed with legionnaires. Okay, Kunlun”, at least he plays cheerfully, but the current Barys games are a painful sight.

I remember the times of Antropov and the trio Dawes – Boyd – Bochensky, then the Kazakh team flew in attack, and today they play with all their legionnaires simply, from defense,” Karandin told Russia-Hockey.ru.
