VLADIMIR POTANIN,
Nornickel CEO
“The emergence of a professional hockey team in Norilsk was driven by the local residents' love for hockey. Norilsk residents used to like hockey, but when hockey stars started coming to the city, when the opportunity to play in a genuine, mature way appeared, Norilsk fell in love with hockey. So the hockey team appeared there, and it's great because it's a huge boost for the spectators of the city.”
