Athletistic / Hockey. Novosibirsk “Sibir” striker Nikolai Prokhorkin spoke about working together with current SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg. Before leaving the “snowmen” camp, Prokhorkin defended the colors of the St. Petersburg club.
“Rotenberg is a hockey fanatic. He lives 100% for hockey.
Is he more of a manager of the coaching staff than a direct mentor? To be honest, it’s hard to say. I only played seven matches for SKA last season. In the regular season I was with the team more, but in the playoffs it was a completely different game.
Roman Borisovich tried to energize people more mentally. He was present at all majority and minority meetings, as well as at the holding of a general meeting of the team and the dismantling of the opponent. But you need to look directly at the coaches’ kitchen to understand how they communicate with each other and what ideas they share with each other,” Prokhorkin was quoted as saying by Sport-Express.
Roman Rotenberg became head coach of SKA in January 2022. For two years in a row, the St. Petersburg club, under his leadership, reached the final of the Western Conference, but lost each time to CSKA.
