The head coach and forward of BKMA shared his impressions of the match of the 1st round of the regular season of the AHL-24/25 against the "Peppers" (7:6).
— The first match in history, the first victory. Congratulations also on your debut as the head coach and striker of BKMA. — We won, the emotions are only positive. The game didn't start the way we wanted it to. It's clear that the guys haven't gotten used to each other yet. At first, they did not understand how to interact. But as the game progressed, everything became clear. I think the team has fulfilled the game plan. Thank them for that. Thanks to the goalkeeper, he fought to the end. This is an important victory for BKMA. A good debut, I think.
— The team is made up of hockey players from different teams that played in the AHL. At first there was no interaction, but then everything worked out. — Yes, I think it's a matter of time. As the season progresses, the interaction will be even better. The guys get used to each other. Someone plays in one style, someone in another. We are trying to shuffle the links so that we get a good hockey game. I think everything will be fine. It's a promising start.
— The game against the Lions in the morning, they defeated Pyunik. What can you say about the opponent? — Yes, I watched the morning game. They move well. They also have several new players, including those who can decide the outcome of the game. So in the morning, I think there will be good hockey, a good battle, we are waiting.
BKMA will play the next match on December 8 at 11:00 against the Lions.
