Against this background, “Lokomotiv” hockey gained momentum. It is clear that he has funding and a new rink, the fan has turned more towards hockey. Our task is to do everything necessary to restore fan interest in the most popular sport and in our native club “Shinnik,” Nikonorov said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
