Traktor opens the museum of club history
The special
guests of the ceremony were Deputy Governor of Chelyabinsk Region Oleg Grachev,
team captain Vladimir Antipov, goaltender Michael Garnett, defenseman Gennady
Razin and Traktor veterans. The red ribbon was cut, and the museum welcomed its
first visitors.
Special thanks
go to the Director of Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant Museum Nadezhda Dida who
provided the club museum with several rare lots including Traktor players’
personal documents.
Oleg Grachev, Deputy Governor of Chelyabinsk Region:
This opening is a new starting point for Traktor. Chelyabinsk is a hockey city,
and it absolutely needs to have a hockey history museum, especially considering
the fact that last year Traktor won its first major title in a long time –
Continent Cup.
Vladimir Krechin, Traktor CEO:
I would like to congratulate everyone on today’s special occasion. We have been
nurturing the idea of this museum for quite a while, and this is only the first
step. Next thing we are going to do is to open a hall of team’s XX century
history that is going to include the materials that date back to 1947.
