Hong Kong Before Norilsk Mikhail Anisine He told he was very impressed upon arriving in the northern city as he saw the scale of the industry there.
Anisin, 35, has signed a viewing contract and a full deal with new VHL club Norilsk. On Saturday, September 2, Norilsk will play a home game against Neftyanik from Almetyevsk – this will be the Norilsk club’s first game in big hockey.
“Are you afraid of frosts at 40 degrees?”
– So far it’s plus 12, cloudy with sunny spells. I haven’t caught the hard frosts yet. I know it’s cold here. But our clothes are at the highest level.
And I’m going to take it slow. Hockey players live between the arena and the house, we are on the street only when we get in the car. Training, rest, sleep, let’s go to the exit. I don’t think I will have much time to walk around Norilsk in winter.
Well, what about minus 40? People live. I look at the city and think that the people from Norilsk who work here in the companies are just heroes. I was very impressed when I drove from the airport and saw the scale of the industry. Behind this lies the hardest work for the good of our homeland, that’s why I bow to the workers. My job is to go out on the ice and please them with good hockey when someone comes to our game after a hard shift at a mine or quarry,” Anisin told .
Anisin played in 343 KHL games and scored 172 points (84+88), adding 30 points (22+8) to them in 39 playoff games. With Dynamo Moscow, he won the Gagarin Cup in 2012.
