President “locomotive Yuri Yakovlev said he sees nothing wrong with hosting KHL regular-season team home games in Yaroslavl on September 7 – the day of remembrance for the hockey players who died in the crash. plane of 2011.
Lokomotiv Yaroslavl will play their first home game of the KHL Championship on September 7. On Memorial Day on the ice of Arena-2000, the team of Igor Nikitin will meet Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk.
— What do you think of the KHL calendar and the fact that Lokomotiv plays on September 7?
– Let’s start with the calendar. Once again, I repeat that personally, I am not in favor of such a timetable. The players are real people and they need to rest sometimes. If we take September, we have 13 games there, it’s not normal. There are no rest days, the guys have no time to recover and train. Why is it? The solvency of the population is not so great to go there often. It seems to me that it would be better for them to give them more breaks to breathe life into the fans and the players.
As for the second part of the question, after last September 7, we are not applying to the league with any requests. We believe in living the way…as it goes. I am not against this fact. I’ll say it again: if people come together on September 7 and remember the team together, there’s nothing wrong with that.
On September 7, 2011, the main team of Lokomotiv died in a plane crash when the team took off from Yaroslavl Tunoshna Airport for the season opener match with Minsk Dynamo.
