“I don’t see the point in destroying a structure that has been successfully operating for decades. This is also a disregard for the interests of the national team. The Russian national team is the face of our hockey and our country. How will we form our team now? The KHL announced a break for the Channel One Cup, ignoring the Russian Hockey Federation, but the sanctions, sooner or later, will be lifted and our country will return to the international arena, where we will participate in the Olympics, World Championships and Eurotours.
