Nichushkin tried to bring the Stanley Cup to Dubai through the NHL Players Union

Forward “Colorado” Valery Nichushkin in an interview with “” spoke about the problems with logistics and the demonstration of the trophy for winning the Stanley Cup.

At the end of July, Nichushkin told that since it was not possible to bring the Stanley Cup to Chelyabinsk now, he would try to organize such a day in Dubai. Through the Emirates, the student of hockey from Chelyabinsk will make a change on the way back from Russia to America.

– It’s a shame you weren’t allowed to bring the Stanley Cup to Dubai or Istanbul.

– We had attempts again, we asked about Dubai through the NHL Players Union. In essence, they give [привезти] in Europe. But my relatives and some of my friends do not have a Schengen visa, plus complicated air travel. If they don’t give it now, I won’t ask for Europe either. Well, what’s the point? I can hang out with the Stanley Cup in America. And many friends won’t fly anyway,” Nichushkin said.

Over the summer, Nichushkin signed a new contract with Colorado for eight years, with a salary of more than $6 million a year. The Russian played with an ankle injury in the last game of the Stanley Cup series, in which his team won the trophy.
