The jerseys will later be auctioned for the benefit of a Krefeld foundation for children.

He dispelled the fans’ concerns about the goalkeeper position with a detailed technical statement. He pointed out that the penguins were also really bad defensively last season. “In the coming season we will primarily rely on Sergei Belov and Nikita Quapp. There is good communication between the two of them and they will compete, ”said the sports director. When asked about the collaboration between head coach Clark Donatelli and his Russian assistant coach Igor Zakharkin, he said: “They are all ice hockey people. You speak the language of ice hockey and Boris Blank is still there and can translate something. ”The manager sees the team well positioned for the new season:“ We now have a team where one person fights for the other and blocks shots. If the team grows together quickly, we have a good chance of making the play-offs. “

The first newcomers to the penguins have already arrived in Krefeld. One of them is striker Anton Berlyov. The 27-year-old Russian underwent medical and health tests on Friday in the Helios Clinic in St. Josefs Hospital in Krefeld-Uerdingen. Team doctor Martin Wazinski examines the players on the basis of extensive requirements of the DEL. Berlyov initially came to Krefeld alone. “My wife and son will be coming in September when the season starts,” says the 177 centimeter tall attacker, who most recently lived in Prague. The contact to the penguins came about through his advisor. He has not yet spoken to coach Clark Donatelli. “The DEL is a strong league and they play very good ice hockey. I see myself as a center and want to be part of the team, ”said Berlyov on the sidelines of the investigation.
