SKA Head Coach Romain Rotenberg Ahead of the FONBET KHL Championship regular season match with Traktor, reported that the ice rink had been renovated in St. Petersburg.
THURSDAY SKA will play the first home game of the season against Traktor. The game will start at 19:30 Moscow time. SKA has three points from three regular season road games. The Chelyabinsk team also has three points from three games.
— What do you expect from SKA’s first home game of the season?
— All our tickets have already been sold. We are very happy and grateful to our fans – the stands will be full. Our organizers are organizing a hockey festival. Each spectator will receive a free T-shirt as a gift. We have filled the ice and reached a high level. Just look at the quality of the ice: it is absolutely white, as in the photo. The puck is clearly visible. We are still working with light. It is of a good level, but in a month it will be even better. We pay great attention to all these details.
Here you can breathe well, and I noted – the same atmosphere is in Yaroslavl, where you can also breathe well. Maximum oxygen consumption (VO2) is very important for every athlete during recovery during shifts.
— Can we say that St. Petersburg now has the best ice in the KHL?
“We believe that our home ice cream, when we take into account all the details and our employees work on it, is one of the best ice creams.
Sometimes the weather has an effect. Today the ice is the best, tomorrow we will have to adjust it to the weather realities. Fine tuning is constantly underway. It also depends on ventilation, water filtration – there are many nuances here. For example, the pourer did not show up for work, who only in Russia can pour ice like that, and this also affects. Or water filtration, if not taken into account, can ruin the quality of the ice at the moment. Well, we strive to ensure that our ice in St. Petersburg is the best, ”Rotenberg told .
