Hockey Expert Nikita Shchitov announced an invitation to the position of head coach of Chelyabinsk “Tractors” Canadian Specialist Benoit Grou extraordinary gesture.
The Chelyabinsk club announced in May the appointment of a 56-year-old specialist; the contract with the coach is for two seasons. Groux won the 2015 World Junior Championship as Canada’s coach.
The Chelyabinsk team signed forwards Alexander Kadeikin, Alexey Lipanov, Andrey Svetlakov and Dylan Sikura this summer.
— I had a good impression of Traktor’s transfer campaign. Since last season, we have more or less preserved the group and recruited good players. The invitation of a foreign coach is especially interesting. It caused a great resonance: the tough Urals team “Traktor” and such an extraordinary gesture. It is interesting to see how the Chelyabinsk team will play under the leadership of a foreigner. There are no foreigners in the club’s management, and therefore their bet should be played.
“Chelyabinsk has a good team and I think Traktor fans can look forward to a bright future. I hope the team will go as far as possible in the playoffs. I would also like to see Nikita Tertyshny play again at the high level he played at several seasons ago. Maybe the coach will help him open up,” Shchitov told RB Sport.
In the first official match of the Fonbet KHL Championship season, Traktor will face Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg on September 4.
