YURZINOV: DYNAMO AND HC MVD HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON

The legendary hockey coach Vladimir Yurzinov shared his opinion on possible integration of HC Dynamo and HC MVD.


"I do not know details of possible integration of these clubs", Yurzinov told sport press. "To my mind these teams have absolutely different roads".

"Appearance of HC MVD became epoch-making event in history of Russian hockey. Achievements of this young club turned not only to a gift for all sensation-lovers, but into a lesson for other participants of the championship how to achieve success thanks to hard work and striving for victory".

"The Moscow region club became a new guiding line and author of new tendency in development of Russian hockey. We need to understand that many clubs of our league should take HC MVD as a model. So it’s necessary to think about it, but not about how to liquidate the team and create something new instead of it".

"As for Dynamo, their management should think about their future, because it is clear that they cannot move in the same direction anymore. They need to reconsider strategy of their development. Dynamo has not made any progress in recent years, that means they need to change something in the club. I think it’s better to pay their attention to players who grew professionally in their club".

"That is why I think these clubs have nothing in common with each other. HC MVD should develop new traditions of Russian hockey, while Dynamo need to concentrate on returning old traditions".
