MOSCOW, January 2, Alexander Sergeev. Head coach of the Russian national youth hockey team Sergei Zubov complained about living conditions in Canada during the World Cup, claiming that the team lived in a hotel with people not related to hockey. Earlier, a source said that the players of the youth teams of Russia and the Czech Republic were removed from the flight in Canada for violation of the rules of conduct … Hockey players were returning home after the canceled World Cup in Canada due to coronavirus cases. Later, the Russian team took off on another flight via Frankfurt, Germany. On Sunday, the team returned to Moscow. «There is no hockey, apparently, there is nothing to watch, therefore (there was) increased interest,» Zubov answered the question of journalists whether the incident with the team's removal from the flight was inflated. «Of course, I have an opinion (about the cancellation of the youth world championship), but we have officials, they, I think, will be able to more specifically answer this question. There were problems in the hotel where we all lived in one heap. There were also many residents who were completely unrelated to hockey. Of course it made things more difficult. «
