– I will not say that I was surprised. I believe that this is a very strong coach and he has a very strong headquarters. The main thing is to find a balance between players and the coaching staff, to understand what is required of us and do it on ice.

– In the life of Hartley, a very kind and friendly person, but they say that in the training process he is very tough. Did you feel it?

– I would not say that he is tough. He is demanding. You need to listen, understand what is required of you, and then everything will be fine. And if you listen, but do not understand and do wrong, then, I think, any coach will be dissatisfied, ”Berezkina quoted“ All -Sport ”.
