Head coach of the Russian Olympic team Nikolai Vojvodina After the tournament match Nikolai Puchkov against SKA, he said that during such meetings young hockey players become more courageous and show character on the ice.
On Thursday, the Russian Olympic team defeated SKA. In regular time, the match ended with a score of 3:3; in the penalty shootout, the Vojvodina team proved stronger, with Ivan Demidov scoring the winning shot.
– Good game, skillful opponent. This game was good for the boys. They were “on fire” in the game and played with desire. Our players showed the elements necessary for adult hockey. The guys fought and played for each other to win. In such games they become more courageous and show their character.
When you win, you don’t want to look for negative aspects. We started the tournament Puchkov well, then there was a failure. But over the course of four games, the guys improved, teamwork appeared, leaders were found, a team was formed. There was no need to prepare our captain Demidov for today’s match. “He is a guy with a goal, we have put together the team as a whole,” a correspondent reports Voevodina’s words.
Roman Rotenberg’s team scored seven points in four matches, which allowed SKA to win the overall tournament standings.
The Puchkov tournament took place in St. Petersburg from August 22 to 29. The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
