First Vice-President of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation (RHF) and head coach of SKA Saint Petersburg Romain Rotenberg believes that in order to popularize 3×3 hockey, it is necessary to attract bloggers, for example, A4 (Vlada Papers).
– Is there an understanding of what the 3×3 hockey format will be like? Has the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) already developed clear rules?
— Russia acts as a pioneer, we dictate the rules. We will discuss this with the IIHF, but here we have taken the size of the site 40 by 20 meters. As the practice of organized tournaments shows, this is a good format. And we also make the league on such sites. If you know, more than a thousand matches have already taken place in Moscow. And we plan to create such leagues in all cities and regions of Russia.
It will be 24 hour hockey with many participants. These guys who just finished hockey or found themselves without a team. This is a social program for all hockey players. We introduce mass character, we promote hockey.
In general, 3×3 hockey is entertainment, entertainment, and young people are more interested. It’s a completely different discipline. This genre is something between basketball and hockey in terms of spectacle. It’s inspiring. The future is in such a dynamic format, when you have to be focused on the ice every second. These are new sensations and emotions.
It’s more accessible hockey. Less cost, less box, less players needed, less masseurs and doctors. It’s a more economical option,” Rotenberg told reporters.
– And what is the idea of making a hockey media league?
– Sochi will host the first game of the media league on Wednesday. The XHL team will play against SKA in 3×3 hockey. We need more media and journalists. We need bloggers, video content, especially kids bloggers who work with the younger generation.
– Do you need Vlad Paper A4?
– Yes, it is. We want as many kids as possible to play 3×3 hockey.
The FHR “3×3 Sochi XHL Stakes League” tournament will be held in Sochi on Wednesday.
