Coach Andrey Nazarov, who worked with several clubs in the Continental Hockey League (KHL), spoke about the Latvian national team winning bronze at the World Championship. It is reported by “Championship”.

According to the expert, Russia played a huge role in this success. “The merit of the KHL in the development of the Latvian coaching school and Latvian players is obvious. Most of them were sitting in Russia on fat contracts, and sometimes undeservedly, they worked in Russian teams, drew experience and skills, ”said Nazarov.

On May 28, the Latvian national team for the first time in history won the bronze of the Ice Hockey World Championship. In the match for third place at the 2023 tournament, the team beat the United States (4:2).

Nazarov’s last place of work was Sochi, which the specialist left in October last year. He also headed Neftekhimik, SKA, Barys, Severstal, Vityaz and Traktor.
