Athletistic / Hockey. Avangard recruit Nikolai Prokhorkin spoke about his return to the Omsk club. The forward was traded from Siberia Novosibirsk on the final day of the KHL transfer window.
“I am very happy to have returned to a wonderful team and a team with a champion character. Every year the atmosphere will be unique, because new people come to the club, new emotions, new communication appear.
I haven’t seen Ilyukha Proskuryakov for a long time, although we always played together for CSKA. The guys were tired after the match with Sibir, so we’ll chat with them during the match. Everyone made me feel very welcome.
Avangard has only one goal: the Gagarin Cup, and personal goals take second place. My ambitions did not allow me to just fight for the playoffs, I want to compete for the Cup,” Prokhorkin was quoted as saying by the Avangard press service.
Nikolai Prokhorkin played for Avangard in the 2021/2022 season. Omsk then reached the second round of the Gagarin Cup. This season, Prokhorkin scored 23 (8+15) points in the “goal+pass” system in 39 matches of the KHL regular season.
