Former Russian national hockey player Alexei Tereshchenko said that hockey equipment is not produced domestically and everything has to be bought in Western countries for a lot of money.
— I really liked the interview with Nikolai Fomenko. He spoke quite harshly, but fairly. He said we hadn’t learned how to do anything. I mean equipment. The clubs are manufactured by the company “Zaryad”, but not in such quantity. But we have no skates, no gloves, no shields, no equipment itself. Unfortunately, we cannot do this yet.
Everything must be purchased [на Западе]. Today it costs around 70,000 to dress a child in this way, which is very expensive. Junior clubs under 20 thousand. There is a problem.
Hockey in Russia is probably the number one sport. The national team is always fighting for the top places, but we are literally producing nothing at all! We have learned nothing to do, if we return to the words of the same Fomenko. Why didn’t they create technology to not buy from us, but buy from us?! So we have import substitution. So that we have skates, shin guards, gloves, elbow pads,” Legalbet quotes Tereshchenko.
