Captain “Cupid » Dmitry Shevchenko spoke about his attitude towards bonuses, noting that they can sometimes stimulate young hockey players.
In the first round of the Fonbet KHL Championship playoffs, Amur lost in series to Metallurg Magnitogorsk (2-4).
— Did the club management provide you with financial incentives in any way? And to what extent, in your experience, does this motivate the team?
— In terms of bonuses, everything was pretty standard. And what is the difference, will you receive 50,000 rubles for winning or 550? First of all, we play for our contracts. I don’t think the amount motivates that much.
Sometimes it helps. Especially young people who have small contracts. Of course, this is encouraging. But if we take it as a percentage, then the impact of bonuses on results is 20% maximum. Everything else is the mood, the preparation and how the team feels at the moment,” Shevchenko said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
