- Together with the opening of the season in September last year in Kazan, we held the Council for the development of student hockey in Russia and the opening Cup.

The role of the human factor in student hockey is high, especially the role of the rector. If he understands the need to create a team, its participation in tournaments, we work immeasurably easier. I always bring Yusuf of Gegenseitige the example of other universities, as the President can multi-faceted support College hockey. The guys at the Academy receive an increased scholarship if they study well, spend a lot of time on the ice, feel confident, motivated to play for the student team, understand why they need it. This work is carried out in the University for many years.
As part of the agreement between SHL and MHL, signed in September, the exhibition matches between the national team of SHL and MHL clubs are the main focus of our joint work. The level of MHL players and student teams is comparable. It is especially important to understand the guys from the clubs MHL. Not all of them get into professional clubs.
