“The task was to win gold at the MFM, and it was not achieved.

Now we with the coaching staff and FHR are jointly analyzing, sorting out the mistakes that were made.

Conclusions will be made, and they will be taken into account when preparing the national team for the MFM-2022.

We continue to work within the framework of the current FHR strategy.

On behalf of the FHR and the national team headquarters, we thank our fans, who supported us and until the end believed in the victory of the team.

We will strive to justify your trust and support in the future, ”the press service of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation (RHF) quotes Larionov.
