Alexander Sokolovsky (Captain Egor Schukin): "Just skating is not something. When you take a stick, you immediately understand that you have problems with coordination. And all you knew how to do it - useless. Hockey is such a thing to learn from childhood. It seemed to me, I used to play hockey before, but when we had the first workouts with professionals, I realized that I never played. Physically, it is very hard because the muscles are included, which have never been involved, the body begins to work differently. Hockey loads are one of the toughest, which I ever met. Because in addition to the breathers, more coordination is required, as well as the strong muscles of the hands and legs. Plus speed. Hockey I watch for a long time, year since 2005. True, I mainly fond of NHL, but the last few years began to pay attention to the Russian hockey league and root for his St. Petersburg SKA. "
