Hockey players of the Russian national team will play in the First Channel Cup match against the Finns in the uniform of the USSR national team. Photos from the locker room are available on the Komsomolskaya Pravda Telegram account.
On December 19, Russian hockey players will hold the final match of the Channel One Cup – the second of the four stages of the Euro Hockey Tour. As in the previous meetings of the tournament, domestic athletes will again take to the ice in the form of the USSR national team.
This time, the retro uniform resembles the kit in which the Soviet national team of the 1964-1968 model performed. In this outfit, Soviet hockey players won two Olympics.
In the match with Canada, Sweden and the Czech Republic, domestic hockey players also performed in retro uniforms and won. This is due to the fact that the Russian Ice Hockey Federation celebrates the 75th anniversary of this sport. In December 1946, the first matches of the national championship took place in the USSR.
