The Ukrainian Championship started on Friday with a match between Kremenchug and Dnepr (10:3). Let us remind you that the start of the championship was initially postponed from October 29 to October 31, but due to a prolonged air raid, the match was postponed another day.
Despite the fact that the championship has finally started, there is still a crisis in the leadership of Ukrainian hockey. Let us remind you that in September there was a split in the FHU. An event called the “General Congress of the Ukrainian Hockey Federation” took place in Kremenchug, at which Sergei Mazur was elected as the new president of the organization. However, this congress and its decisions did not receive official status – Gennady Zubko is still listed as the head of the FHU in the Ministry of Justice register.
On Thursday, the FHU, led by Zubko, issued a communique in which it stated that “the announced competitions do not have any official status.”
Mazur reported that five clubs submitted application forms to participate in the season: Sokol, Kremenchug, Dnepr, Storm and Kyiv Capitals. Trizub’s participation is in doubt.
