During the tournament, they were photo and autograph sessions with the famous hockey player. Those who wanted could touch main trophies of Russia: the Gagarin Cup and the Russian Cup. On the 15th of May, Evgeniy brought cups to Gubakha.

Evgeniy Ketov, Russian and world champion, two times winner of the Gagarin Cup for SKA:
-I’m very happy to be at such sport event and to encourage young hockey players. I envy them a little bit, because in my childhood there was no case to invite a team from Gubakha or Solikamsk to the regional tournament and show good results. I hope that somebody from these young hockey players will win the Olympic medal and bring it in the Perm region.

Rashid Shakirov, PJSC “Metafrax” Deputy General Director for Personnel And Social Issues:
-The company actively supports the sport development, especially minor hockey. It’s very good to see that famous countrymen don’t forget their small motherland and the project of ice arena in Gubakha is developed due to the Evgeniy’s initiative. Three-party co-financing agreement was signed between the Timchenko’s foundation, Perm Krai and the municipal administration. The construction should be finished within this year.
