The Governor of the Khanty -Mansi Autonomous Okrug Kukharuk said that Ugra was striving to return to the KHL

The governor of the Khanty -Mansi Autonomous Okrug Ruslan Kukharuk said that work was being carried out to return the Ugra to the Continental Hockey League.

Ugra played in the KHL from 2010 to 2018. Now the club is among the participants of the VHL.

– “Ugra” does not strive in the KHL?

– The team is striving, the fans are striving. Everything that is associated with infrastructure for winter sports (biathlon, skiing, etc.), everything that requires our attention, the material and technical base for creating comfortable conditions for both the coaching staff and the athletes themselves … undoubtedly, hockey also sounded. Those requirements that are today, from the point of view of the material and technical base, are consistent today. The excellent ice arena allows these events. Today there are two components – the quality of the game and successful indicators. We are for our team.

The third component is funding. There is money that our budget provides. Today we are working to find extrabudgetary money. This is the requirement of the hockey league so that this barrier can be overcome. There is a great task to return to the KHL, ”said Kukharuk on the air“ Match TV ”.
