The head coach SKA and the national team “Russia 25 » Romain Rotenberg said that in different regions of Russia hockey is played according to different rules.
Friday, as part of the “We are together. Sport”, a meeting of the State Council Commission on Physical Culture and Sport headed by the President of the Russian Federation takes place.
— We have been involved in hockey since 2015, trying to establish a single standard. It’s hard to believe, but now the regions play according to different rules, because the regional federation itself decides which hockey rules to establish. It really is a circus! If we don’t play by the same rules, what kind of development of hockey in the country can we talk about? I studied the practices of other countries, this only exists in Russia. This is why I think we need to introduce a unified approach. We are ready to submit our proposals to the working group,” Rotenberg said at the commission meeting.
