Happy Birthday, Gayaz Sakhapov!

15.01.2024

One of the founders of the Neftekhimik hockey club, Gayaz Zyamikovich Sakhapov, celebrates his 85th birthday.

Since the beginning of the 90s, Neftekhimik, under the leadership of Gayaz Sakhapov, has been moving forward step by step. Got a Silver Medal in 1994 and Gold Medal in 1995 in the Russian Open Championship became the crown of the attention and support that was provided to the Nizhnekamsk hockey team.

Through the efforts and perseverance of Gayaz Zyamikovich, Neftekhimik joined the International Hockey League in 1995. Both the players and fans of Neftekhimik knew that this is his merit – big hockey in our small city.

Dear Gayaz Zamikovich, on behalf of the Neftekhimik hockey club and on my own behalf, I would like to wish you a good health and long life! Thank you for your invaluable contribution to the development of the hockey traditions of Nizhnekamsk!

Sincerely, Director General of HC "Neftekhimik"
