Honored Coach of Russia Vladimir Krikunov reacted to the news of SKA’s return to the Ice Palace from the SKA Arena.
On Tuesday, the St. Petersburg club announced that the team will play its home games in the upcoming KHL season at the Ice Palace.
— Of course, first of all, you have to think about safety, so holding the season in Ledovoy is a logical step on the part of SKA. Records and massive attendance are great, the SKA Arena is really impressive, but if you imagine that the fire that happened there happened during the match, you feel uncomfortable. Fans will think three more times whether to go to the stadium or not, especially if it is a family trip with children. So the wisest decision would be to check and eliminate the shortcomings, focusing not on a specific deadline to be met, but on the quality of the work. After all, SKA, as an organizer, bears responsibility. How can you take it when you are not even sure that everything is ready? Here, everything is obvious to the St. Petersburg club, ”Krikinov told the“ Championship ”.
Last season, SKA was defeated by Avtomobilist (1-4) in the second round of the KHL playoffs.
