President of the Russian Hockey Federation (RFH) Vladislav Tretiak said that it is very important to show the hockey players of the Russian national team that they are counted on in the future.
On Tuesday, Russian hockey players will fly to Astana, where they will play two matches: on May 2 against the Kazakhstan national team and on May 4 against the Belarusian national team. After that, the Russian team will play three more matches with the Belarusians within the framework of the Betting League tournament: May 6 in Omsk, May 9 in Tula and May 11 in Minsk. On Monday, a solemn ceremony was held to present the hockey players of the Russian national team with match uniforms.
— When I played, this never happened. There were no presentations where players received uniforms. It wasn’t like everything was so solemn. Understand, this is not a small thing for guys, it is very important. It is very important today to show them that we love them, that we believe in them and that we hope for the future. This is very important, ”Tretyak said on the air of the program “Everyone for the match! on the channel.
Watch the match between the national teams of Russia and Kazakhstan live on May 2 on the Match channel! Country” at 5:25 p.m. Moscow time.
