Athletistic/ Hockey. Over the past two years, many Russian athletes have been deprived of the opportunity to participate in international competitions. The sanctions have particularly affected hockey players. The Russian team has already missed three world championships. The 2023 championship, which was to be held in St. Petersburg, has been moved to other countries.
However, Russian athletes do not intend to give up. They continue to develop. Some play in the KHL, others also play in the NHL. In this regard, it was decided to organize an interesting event.
On Saturday, July 20, the “Match of the Year” will take place in Moscow on the ice of CSKA Arena. KHL and NHL stars will take part in it. Part of the proceeds will be donated to charity.
Finnish hockey fans reacted to this news. They left their comments on the site

Big Bank:
– It should be more interesting than the NHL All-Star Game, which is a joke.
Sörsselson:
– I wonder why Putin is not part of the KHL team?
Sleepy:
– Who cares about such a propaganda event? Nothing to do with sports…
Jeretée:
– Sleepy, for example, that’ll be interesting for me to take a look at. Several of my favorite players are in it.
Crimson King:
– Asleep, the match between Russian NHL and KHL players has nothing to do with sports? And nobody cares about it? I must say that this is an idiotic statement.
Sub-bari:
– Of course, it’s interesting, but it’s more of an advertisement to show how good players Russia has… and they really do.
Reiska56:
– Good idea. It would be very nice to see such a meeting somewhere in Europe. World politics has ruined everything.
Oskr77:
– We will find out which league is the most difficult, I bet on the KHL victory. It will be fun to watch.
Jukka_Emil_Vanaja:
– NHL players will tear it up, even if they’re not playing at full strength.
