“Vitjaz” team represented by Daugaviņš reduces salaries for coaches and hockey players – KHL – Hockey

A Russian newspaper reports that Vitjaz will participate in the Continental Hockey League (KHL) championship next season, despite financial problems.

The Vitjaz unit is indebted to its players without paying a salary for four months. No new agreement has been reached with the Podolsk arena.

Sport Express reports that the debts will be repaid by July 25 and an agreement on a lease agreement will also be reached with the Podolsk Arena.

Vitjaz’s budget for next season will be reduced at the expense of hockey players and coaches – they will be cut by 20% so that the team can start KHL.

Currently, the 32-year-old Daugaviņš joined Vitjaz in May, concluding a one-season contract.

Daugaviņš spent the last two seasons in the KHL club Moscow “Spartak”.

Last season, in the KHL regular championship, Daugaviņš scored with 40 performance points (19 goals + 21 assists).

In turn, in the playoffs or Gagarin Cup, the Latvian had one accurate throw and three assists.

Last season for Daugaviņš was the most productive in his career in the KHL championship.

Before playing for Spartak, he spent less than three seasons in KHL with the Torpedo team in Nizhny Novgorod.

Even before that, Daugaviņš played in the Moscow “Dinamo” unit for a little more than a season.

He also played in KHL in the 2012/2013 season, when Daugaviņš represented Riga’s “Dinamo” during the lockout of the National Hockey League (NHL).
