NOVOGORSK, April 29, Andrey Senchenko. Head coach of the national team ” Russia 25″ and St. Petersburg SKA, first vice-president of the Russian Hockey Federation (RHF) Roman Rotenberg expressed the opinion that to improve the level of play in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), an honest chief referee is needed.
Currently, the position of chief referee of the KHL is held by Alexey Anisimov.
“”The work of the referees is very important. We talked about eliminating minor fouls. Imagine that a technical player like Vladimir Tkachev from Avangard will have three players hanging on him, he won’t show anything. We need to work on so that hockey is modern and spectacular,” Rotenberg told reporters.
“When the new chief referee of the KHL was appointed, he gave a speech at the board of directors that we were eliminating minor hockey for the sake of spectacular hockey. He told everyone that there would be pure hockey. But we see absolutely the opposite. We need to speak publicly that the chief The KHL referee supports a different approach. Maybe we should change the strategy somehow? We want the hockey to be technical, so that the players have the opportunity to create. We need to eliminate situations where the conditional Tkachev has three players at each moment, but he has a big contract. There’s no point in paying him such a huge amount of money if the rules of playing hockey in the KHL are completely different. The initiative from the FHR is very simple – to play honest hockey. There’s no other way,” said the head coach of SKA.
