Most of the Russian team at the tournament in the US national team players born in 1999. Their luck at the World Cup U17 national team coaching staff Sergei Golubovicha.
«Prokhorov said he had no comment did not give. No decision no. It if is, it will be published on the official website of the Russian Hockey Federation, under whose jurisdiction we are. Do Prokhorov remains the head coach? So far, no decision has been made. There are informational mess, an endless stream, but no there is no solution “- said the press attache team Maxim Biryukov” Match TV »

And.. Znarok: the difference between 17-year and 18-year-old is not so much
Russia coach Igor U17 Znarok commented on his team’s players participate in the Junior World Championship U18
«The difference between 17-year and 18. -year-old players, of course, is there, but not that big. Primarily the differences in physical terms, but it in fact depends on the character.
In the past season and the playoffs the MHL was taken only eight doping tests. Both were taken RUSADA on the budget, rather than the means of the KHL.
Can and 16-year-old boys at the expense of nature prove to beat the 18-year-olds. In general, it would be character, and at this command it is. So we believe in the best, who knows how to work, but we go to the US for the medals.
Maybe it’s for the best that the United States will play like this, with a clean slate. Guys, of course, should spur, the more so because they are so all with the character of the team. You know, even once it became evident that they have become much more serious concern to the working process, now that previously could somewhere childish treat. All team players understand why going to the World Cup “, – quotes Znarka« R-Sport »
To.. Safronov: if YUCHM go U17 team, the question is not about the medals go
former defender, now a hockey agent Kirill Safronov commented on the information that was changed before the junior world championship composition and coaches the Russian national team U18.
«If at the Junior World Championships U17 team will go, the chances of it is now difficult to say. This age difference a year quite substantial, I say from personal experience. In these tournaments the team is assembled of a certain year of birth. Yes, in different countries in different ways, sometimes even whole state under the five others. But it does mean that the junior year is very strong. Plus U18 team Prokhorov still preparing the whole season, not for nothing that in general created this project. The situation is not fully understood, it is necessary to wait for the official announcement. Maybe something else will change.
Prokhorov said he had no comment did not give. No decision no. It if is, it will be published on the official website of the Russian Hockey Federation, under whose jurisdiction we are.
Of course, in the future for our children in 1999 this will be an invaluable experience. But to compete on an equal footing and qualify for a medal … It is likely, speech does not go at all. And if we talk about the fact that out of this situation can be drawn positive, but now there is a chance for those children in 1998 who did not get into the team. Especially if the matter meldonium, in North America and Canada, its use is just not practical. There’s all the guys for sure “clean”, – said Safronov
The former head of the medical center KHL:. Believe in the MHL drug test could be missing
The former head of the medical center KHL Boris Tarasov said that in the last season in the Youth Hockey league was taken only eight doping tests, and this year, as suggested by Tarasov, they could never take.
«in the last season and the playoffs the MHL was taken only eight doping tests. Both were taken RUSADA on the budget, not the KHL means. I believe that in the current season and in the current playoffs Youth league drug test in general may be missing.
To note, in the NHL this season take 11-12 thousand. Doping tests, that is 40-50 times more than in all our hockey. However, WADA in the NHL are not allowed, so the conditional meldonievogo scandal there can not be in principle. Moreover, there is not exactly use meldonium “, – said Tarasov

As it FHR silent? They did not say anything more? Wait, do now! Do not ask me questions. This is the work of the federation. The salaries, offices, cars, jackets they sewed … They are for all to answer “- quoted Mutko” Soviet Sport »
