The press service of the Tula club B.P. Mikhailov Hockey Academy (AKM), which plays in the All-Russian Hockey League (VHL), confirmed to TASS that the team has problems with funding.

The source said that “there is no more information.” Earlier, the journalist of the newspaper “Sport-Express” Alexey Shevchenko wrote that due to financial difficulties, AKM, as well as the teams of the Youth Hockey League “Mikhaylov Academy” and “AKM-Junior” will cease to exist on September 28.

The Governor of the Tula region Dmitry Milyaev at an operational meeting said that it is necessary to “seek opportunities for assistance”. The head of the region also stressed that it is planned to hold a meeting with the leaders and owners of the club.

The general sponsor of the Tula teams is Polyplast, which is also a strategic partner of the Togliatti club of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) Lada. According to TASS, Lada is not yet confident in the stability of further funding. Before the current season from the MHL was excluded “Boat”, which is in the system “Lada”.
