The first record holders of the big "Flock"

16.01.2025

On January 15, an unusual children's hockey festival was held under the roof of the Neftekhim Arena. For the first time in the history of Nizhnekamsk hockey, the Neftekhimik Hockey Club and the administration of the children's and youth sports school awarded their winners of the Record Holders competition.

The competition included tests of hockey skills, such as shot strength, skating speed and stick handling dexterity. Participants demonstrated their dexterity by performing various tricks with a stick. Eight teams of hockey players born between 2007 and 2014 took part in the competition.

The teams were divided into two age groups, among which the students with the "Strongest Shot", "Best shooutout", "Fastest Player" and "Best Goaltender" were identified. The school record was set by Timur Makarov (born in 2009, coaches A.N. Zharenkov, A.M. Sarvarov), who ran a lap faster than anyone else in the school - his result was 15.16 seconds. And the record holder for the power of the throw was Arseniy Borodin (born in 2007, coaches E.S. Eremenko, D.N. Slepkov), who threw the puck at a speed of 142 km/h.



The winners in each age group received well-deserved awards, and the absolute record holders were awarded by the player of the master team, Alexander Dergachev. They received sticks and baseball caps with the personal autograph of the striker. The same award was received by the winner of the super final for throw accuracy, Ilya Butlerovsky (born in 2008, coaches S.R. Kasymov, O.A. Pisarev), who managed to knock down the maximum number of pins.



Neftekhimik  Director General Igor Larionov congratulated the participants and noted the importance of such events for the development of the young generation of hockey players:

– I hope that you enjoyed these competitions and that they will become an annual tradition. We are proud of our students and do everything possible for your growth and development as professional athletes.

We are waiting for you on the ice of Neftekhim Arena as players of the youth team, and then the masters team!

Alexander Dergachyov, Neftekhimik forward:
A great event for children. It is always nice when, in addition to team achievements, there are individual competitions, which is important at this age. When I was a junior, I participated in such competitions - we had them at the end of the season. You always strive to show yourself within the team. This is healthy competition and a fight with yourself, among other things. To go further - to the MHL, KHL, you must be head and shoulders above your competitor. Moreover, such great gifts, hockey sticks at this age are always worth their weight in gold!

The winner of the super final for accuracy shot Ilya Butlerovsky:
– The emotions are good, it is always nice to win. When we competed at school in December, I was absolutely sure that I would win - I always believe in myself!
