The head coach “Motorist” Nikolai Zavarukhin admitted that the Yekaterinburg team could focus on signing contracts with foreign hockey players.
Earlier on Friday, residents of Yekaterinburg announced the extension of the agreement with Zavarukhin. The contract with the specialist runs until the end of May 2026. The previous one was valid until the end of the 2024/25 season.
— Hockey is getting faster, we want faster and more mobile attackers. Let’s see what happens in the Russian market, perhaps in favor of foreign players,” Zavarukhin was quoted as saying by the Championship.
Avtomobilist took fifth place in the Eastern Conference last season and for the first time in the club’s history reached the semi-finals of the KHL playoffs, where they lost to Metallurg Magnitogorsk (3- 4), who ultimately won the Gagarin Cup.
