Before “Kunlun Red Star » Jemel Smith said that he almost did not communicate with the head coach of Dynamo Minsk Dmitry Kvartalnov while playing for the Belarusian club.
In November 2023, Dynamo announced the termination of the contract with the Canadian hockey player; two weeks later he joined the Chinese club.
— You are more successful at Kunlun than at Dynamo Minsk.
– Certainly. I feel more comfortable here, like at home. It’s easier for me to relax and play here. I feel like there isn’t that much pressure on me here. I don’t feel like if something goes wrong here I’ll be punished or not appreciated. In “Kunlun”, I feel more at ease, calmer. Do you work with Kvartalnov? To be honest, we barely communicated. I don’t know what the problem was, but we had no communication. Therefore, I can’t say anything specific,” Smith was quoted as saying by Championship.
This season in the KHL, 29-year-old Smith played 34 games and scored 13 (7+6) points.
