Players’ contracts with Ak Bars are calculated until the end of the 2024/25 season.
– By signing new contracts with leading players, Ak Bars has received stability in the future. We are glad that Shipachev and Voinov agreed to our terms. These agreements give all parties the opportunity to concentrate only on hockey, and Ak Bars fans will be able to watch the game of such strong hockey players for a longer time,” said Marat Valiullin, general manager of the club.
