Athletistic/Hockey. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Spartak Alexander Yakushev said when Ilya Kovalchuk will play his first match for the team.

“I feel good with Kovalchuk’s return to Spartak. He started his career with us and it is symbolic that he continues his performance at Spartak. He will be a great help to the team. Ilya will help not only on the ice, but also in the locker room.

Their first match will be against Kunlun on December 24. It will be a retro game in the small Luzhniki sports arena. It will be very nice to see Ilya in this match as part of Spartak,” Yakushev told Match TV.
