The head coach “Cupid” Andrei Martemianov noted that the important point is to preserve the core of the team for next season.
At the end of the regular season, Amur became eighth in the Eastern Conference. In the first round of the KHL playoffs, the Khabarovsk team lost to Metallurg Magnitogorsk with a score of 2-4.
— Were any proposals made to Korshkov and Shevchenko? The management works, I have not hidden my desire to continue working with them. There they will already agree on the contract. An important point is to preserve the core of the team, because it has been collected throughout Mother Russia: whoever is ready, whoever is not, come. It was still in the heads of the players and in the gossip between them: oh, the Far East, what to do there, some kind of Amur team. I heard all of this very well and I know what happened.
Now the guys form a different opinion about the team and the Far East, they and the club’s management do it with special attention. The regional management is very attentive to the team, I am grateful to them. I hope we will change this opinion that the Far East is the backwater of hockey, we need to get rid of all this and create a serious club for people to come and play here,” Martemyanov said in “Championship” .
