Hockey club “Rostov” will start the season in the MHL with empty stands

Hockey club “Rostov” announced the first home games of the new season without the admission of fans to the stands. Matches scheduled for October 3, 4, 7, 8, 23 and 24 will be held in closed mode at the Ice Arena Palace. Follow the progress of the game fans of the team will only be able to live.

The reasons for this decision have not been officially disclosed. According to preliminary information, this may be due to the technical readiness of the site to receive spectators.

Recall that this season for Rostov will be the debut in the Youth Hockey League (MHL). The transfer from the VHL to the youth division was caused by serious financial difficulties of the club. In addition, the team again changed the home arena: instead of the updated sports palace, the wards will perform at the Ice Arena, where Rostov has already played for eight years.

There were also changes in the coaching staff. The post of head coach instead of Grigory Panteleyev was taken by Nikita Zakharov.
