CEO of Siberia Kirill Fastovsky said whether Novosibirsk could earn the right to host the KHL All-Star Game in December 2023.
On Thursday, a new Sibir-Arena will be inaugurated in Novosibirsk. On this day, Sibir will play the first official game in the new arena, at 15:30 (Moscow time), the team will play against Barys. The construction of a new palace in Novosibirsk has been underway since 2020.
— Will the Sibir-Arena qualify for the next KHL All-Star Game?
“I think it’s still a bit early for us. Although we have not yet discussed this subject with the chairman of the board. The decision is up to him.
– What was the reaction to the new arena of one of the symbols of Novosibirsk hockey – Ottawa forward Vladimir Tarasenko?
– I have not yet discussed this topic with Vladimir. Also, he wasn’t coming to town this offseason, he was busy with his business. He can have an exceptionally positive reaction, and in principle he cannot have another. Since childhood, Volodya heard about the construction of a new stadium in Novosibirsk. And now the dream has come true, – quotes correspondent Fastovsky.
