MOSCOW, Aug 31 Avangard Omsk goalkeeper Stanislav Galimov in an interview » Sport-Express» said that in the Finnish hockey championship the minimum salary is three thousand euros. Last season, Galimov played for the Finnish team «Kärpyat» «The minimum salary is three to four thousand euros. Experienced players, perhaps, receive about ten thousand per month. But in Finland there are still higher taxes. Salaries are less than in the KHL, but you can live with this money. My salary was enough for everything. In addition, the club gave me an apartment and a car, and I only paid for gasoline, «said Galimov.» He spent his salary only on gasoline and food. In stores in Finland, prices are higher than in Russia. But they are stable and almost never rise. There was enough salary, he did not deny himself anything. It was impossible to save, but he covered all current needs «, — added the hockey player.
