Athletistic/Hockey. Two-time Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov appreciated the appointment of Leonid Weisfeld as a scout for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The specialist signed a two-year contract.
“The president of the country raised the topic of businessmen in hockey. I think it is quite relevant – and it concerns not only agents.
On the same day as the president’s speech, news emerged that our television commentator and “golden whistle” Weisfeld had become an NHL scout. It’s an interesting combination: on the one hand, you have to work on the state channel, on the other hand, you have to defend the KHL and arbitration, and on the other hand, you have to look for people to NHL club. Honestly, such savagery is possible only in our state, because one position contradicts another, and the second contradicts a third.
So there is no need to look for businessmen somewhere in the shadows of the agent corps – they are in the light, very close, ”Kozhevnikov said in an interview with Russia-Hockey.ru.
