Former striker “Spartacus” And SKA Maxime Rybine called for no legislative restrictions in Russia on the departure of young hockey players to North America.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin asked the head of the Russian Hockey Federation (RHF), Vladislav Tretyak, and the Russian Sports Ministry to examine the situation in which Russian hockey players leave at very young ages to play in foreign leagues.
“In my opinion, in this situation, too much is geared towards agency actions. This is partly understandable, but know that all young hockey players are now pursuing their dream of playing in the NHL. Is it worth completely protecting foreign travel? Most likely not. Let’s be honest with ourselves. Some of those now talking about some sort of restriction have played in North America themselves. We of course strive to match our competitors, but for a moment, the NHL has entered its 107th regular season. Here it must be taken into account that ice rinks should not only be built in cities with more than a million inhabitants. , but also in less populated regions. It is worth developing hockey schools so that coaches and children are protected from possible transfers, RT Rybin quotes.
