“Actually guys – professionals and know what they came to Vancouver. Some tips we certainly deliver. On the whole, on the fifth day of acclimatization will be successful.

I think it was the right decision “.

“Hockey players immediately after their arrival came on the ice. So the body will quickly adapt to new conditions. Well, about the training process should not be forgotten. We gave the kids a half day to rest after the last match in the Championship League.
