Neftekhimik held an open practice
12.08.2025

Time is inexorably counting down the last weeks until the start of the new season of the Kontinental Hockey League. In this tense anticipation, our team appeared infront of the fans, showing how it is preparing for the upcoming hockey battles, stretched out for as many as 9 months.
Today, fans were able to see how Neftekhimik trains under the guidance of the new coaching staff headed by Igor Grishin. The open training session gave a unique chance to look behind the scenes of preparation: for the first time, the team's head coach explained all the exercises that the hockey players performed on the ice with a microphone.
This event, of course, brought the fans and the team closer together on the eve of the new Championship. At the end of the training, a quiz was held for the fans with the presentation of memorable prizes with the club's symbols.
We sincerely thank everyone who found the time today to come and see how Neftekhimik is preparing for the season.
After the training, the team's head coach Igor Grishin and the team's players answered questions from journalists.
