Two games – two wins, so the Academy of sports team started the new season of the Russian Student hockey League. On November 7 and 8, students held a home tour on the ice of the Zilant sports complex against the Mendeleevets team from Novomoskovsk.
From the very first minutes it was clear that the "academicians" were determined to win. Hockey players of the Volga Academy managed to score seven goals, conceding only two. Goals were scored by Ranil Mukhametzyanov, who hit the opponent's goal three times, Alexander Badyaev, Askar Kurashov, Amal Galimzyanov and Igor Lobov, who scored one goal each.
In the second match, the guests drew the appropriate conclusions and slightly changed the game pattern, which allowed them to somewhat restrain the onslaught of the home team. Thanks to this, Mendeleevets was able to concede fewer goals – four, but in response they managed to conduct only two successful attacks. In the end, 4: 2 in favor of the "academicians". Goals in gate of guests was scored by Amal Galimzyanov, of Detribalisation, RUSAL Khaliullin and Ildar Mannapov.
With such a successful completion of the matches, the head coach of HC "Academy of sports" Sergey Lukin stressed that the game did not start too well.
"The beginning of the game was not the best for us, we got two removals in a row," says Sergey Lukin. - There were three of us against the" five " opponents and it seems that we survived, but in 15 seconds, playing four of us, we missed. This is not a very good start to the game is associated with a long lack of game practice. Then we found our game, started doing the right, simple things, which in the end brought us a positive result in both matches. I would like to say a special "thank You" to the University management, heads of departments, teachers, students and everyone who came to support our team, we always feel this. We play for you and look forward to seeing you at all our games."
