Boris Dubrovski: Traktor hockey school will now be recognized all over country

- Traktor is still on vacation while Belye Medvedi’s preseason trainings are already underway. Today I have watched their training session, and I would like to say I am pleased with how enthusiastic and physically fit the players are.

Supporting of hockey schools is an advantage and a key feature of South Ural hockey. There are 5 thousand young hockey players in the region, half of whom live in Chelyabinsk. Some 1200 of them attend Traktor hockey school. With each victory for Traktor, their number is growing. As a result, we cannot accept all of those who want to become a part of team’s system. This is the soil where future hockey victories are grown. It is flattering to know that nine players of the golden national team that triumphed in Minsk are South Ural hockey schools alums.

It is important for me to know how young boys live and what mood they are in. Today we also watched new jerseys and equipment. Everyone was ecstatic about it! Traktor hockey school will now be recognized all over the country, which will definitely help the team become united as ever!
