Athletistic/Hockey. Today, September 1, the new KHL season begins. The head of the Russian Hockey Federation, Vladislav Tretyak, shared his expectations of him.

– This is a big test for every club and for the hockey players, because there will be many home games in a row, the fans are not used to such a pace of games. It’s both expensive and difficult to get the same fans for every game, so clubs first have to work really hard to get more people into hockey, they have to do more marketing. Not everyone will go to hockey when teams play four or five games in a row, Tretyak said as quoted by TASS.
