— Termination of the contract is our joint decision with Evgeniy. We talked to him about it, and this difficult decision was made easier by the nature of the injury – a hip fracture, which he suffered almost a year ago. Moreover, Evgeniy himself has long doubted the possibility of returning to the ice after such a serious injury in order to make his way into our team. Now we need a coach-analyst, we discussed with the technical staff and decided to offer him this position. Bodrov is our man and we don’t want to leave him in such a difficult situation. He expressed a desire to move into coaching and learn coaching in the future. The club is ready to provide him with all possible assistance in this regard. I think both parties will benefit from this decision,” said Alexander Chebotarev, general director of the Lada hockey club.
