Athletistic / Hockey. SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg said he did not insult Sibir coach David Nemirovsky. During the preseason, Rothenberg called Nemirovsky a “beer league coach.”

“There are good hockey players in the beer league. McDavid plays there in the summer. That’s not an insult.

Hockey is a game of emotions. We know David well, we have known him for a long time. He played for SKA under number 81. I know everything about him very well.

But when hockey turns into fights and dirt, no one needs it. Neither David, nor me, nor the journalists.

We now have freedom of opinion, which is very good. Everyone can tell the truth in front of each other’s eyes. The main thing is not to do it behind the scenes,” Rotenberg is quoted as saying by the SKA press service.
