Transfer of Czech defender “Avant-garde » Libor Choulaka V”Admiral “This is linked to the limit on the number of foreign players in the team,” said the Omsk general director. Anton Kurianov .
Earlier on Friday, the Admiral press service announced Shulak’s return to the club following a swap deal with Avangard Omsk. The deal with the 29-year-old hockey player runs until the end of the 2024/25 season. In exchange, Omsk residents will receive monetary compensation.
“It’s not an easy decision, but we had to make it due to the limited number of foreign players in the team. We thank Libor for his honest work, professionalism and excellent human qualities. There are no complaints about his dedication: when he went out on the ice, he couldn’t wait to win every game. It was extremely important for us, following the trade, to preserve Shulak’s contractual terms and provide him with the most comfortable transition.
The return of last season’s defensive leader will certainly help Admiral solve its problems. Libor will be able to play a lot there, including on the power play, and delight the fans. We wish him well and don’t say goodbye – we say “goodbye”! — the press service of the “hawks” reports Kuryanov’s remarks.
