Reaktor players have visited School #32
16.04.2026
Reaktor players held a special JHL hockey lesson – special because Reaktor forward Kirill Stolyarov attended school No. 32 and returned today as a professional hockey player. Forward Nikolai Krivolapov and goaltender Alexander Kolymayev were also part of this great event.
Hockey players talked about themselves, hockey and how they found their way to the sport, and were happy to answer all the young fans' questions.
Then, they watched a cartoon about hockey and the league, as well as a video about our team. They weren't just watching: each first–grader was given a cheer gear beforehand, and when a puck crossed the goal line on the screen, it was so loud like it was a true stadium atmosphere right in the school.
The Ice Club cheerleaders presented their dance. The girls' performance was so electrifying that two brave first-graders couldn't resist going on stage and repeating their acrobatic stunts. It was great.
What would we do without the kids' favorite, the club's mascot, the Wolf?! As always, he drew a crowd of people eager to hug and take photos.
Everyone left this lesson with gifts: "The ABCs of Hockey" book, bright stickers and a souvenir photo with the hockey players.
Who knows – maybe today some of these kids decided to hit the ice for the first time or go to a game?
"It's always exciting to come back home," said Kirill Stolyarov. "I have such pleasant feeling of nostalgia for the nine years I spent studying here. There aren't many familiar faces left, but still. It's great that we were able to hold a hockey lesson here. Maybe one of the kids will get interested in this sport, go into hockey, and grow up to be a big star.”
