Today, at a session of the city council, the deputies supported the decision to create a hockey club "Mariupol" in the city. The initiative is a logical continuation of the signed Memorandum of Cooperation between the municipality and Boris Kolesnikov Foundation. As a reminder, the construction of the Ice Arena is already at the final stage in Livoberezhny District within the framework of the Memorandum.
Now, children from Mariupol will be able to master winter sports - hockey and figure skating. About 500 young Mariupol residents will be able to attend the sections. Besides, about 100 additional vacancies will be open in the city.
The prospect of popularization of this sport in the region will be its own hockey club. The Mayor, Vadym Boichenko, expressed hope that someday HC "Mariupol" will become the owner of the champion title.
