Chief referee of the Kontinental Hockey League and member of the KHL Board of Directors Alexei Anisimov explained how he reacts to criticism of the quality of the ice from SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg.
— Roman Rotenberg complained about the icy conditions in Togliatti and Nizhny Novgorod. Are these really foreign cities?
— The only problem with ice in Nizhny Novgorod is the water quality. No matter what tech services do, they can’t fix this problem. Torpedo plays on this ice and plays successfully. As for Togliatti, I haven’t heard any complaints from other teams.
This is the personal opinion of Roman Borissovitch, thanks to him for passing it on to us. Ice cream, on the one hand, is the same for everyone, but some people like it softer, others harder. There are no criteria for perfect ice cream. Not just here, but all over the world. Different cities have their own characteristics when it comes to water and certain additives.
We are moving towards the elimination of unnecessary salts and impurities. It’s all scientific work. The league plans to study the composition of water in some stadiums and give recommendations on how to use it, Anisimov said according to Sport24.
