The head coach of Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod, Igor Larionov, in an interview with the club’s YouTube channel, spoke about the quality of the sticks in the matches of the Continental Hockey League (KHL).
“Nobody plays with such thin hooks on fairly average ice quality anymore. It’s a crime to play with the kind of clubs we get,” the specialist said. He declined to talk about the quality of the ice.
