I Went to a RUSSIAN KHL Ice Hockey Game

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Update: I didn't mention what I paid for my ticket, it was 800 rubles, or about $8.50 USD. I bought it right at the ticket office before walking into the stadium. I was in a rush to get there after deciding to go to the game at 4.40pm. The game started at 7.30pm local time. I am still curious if i should call it "Ice Hockey" or just "Hockey" ? Let me know.

Just hockey if you choose to follow the Russian pattern.

In Canada, we call it Hockey because everyone knows we are talking about Ice Hockey and not Floor Hockey or Street Hockey. We only clarify what type of hockey if we are playing Indoor Floor Hockey or Street Hockey. If we just say Hockey, that means Ice Hockey.

Incredibly inexpensive compared to NHL ticket prices. Great vlog! I love hockey!

Shit. You are in my town. 🎉 But Im just temporary here, 10 years...

[@gogaonzhezhora8640]

@@stevenfriedman6042 As I wrote in my other comment the ticket price is that of bad non-Moscow based team. In Moscow you can expcet 3-4 times the price. Which is still easily way cheaper than the NHL prices.

[@altonmags9809]

It is called hockey in Canada. Where you are sitting would cost $300 to $600 Canadian at a Toronto Maple Leaf game. Prices vary and are raised for popular teams. Tickets are over $100 at the highest level. It costs a lot but players in the NHL are paid from $1 to well over $10 million U.S. I will be going to a game to see Ovechkin play in January. Ovechkin "the great 8" now has 866 goals and should pass Gretzky who had 894 maybe this year. Ovechkin had a hat trick last night which is amazing for a 39 year old plyer. Wow - a Russian will be the greatest scorer of all time.

[@СРостова]

Зарплаты игроков НХЛ начинаются кажется от 600 тыс долларов США в год. Да, Овечкин велик, он очевидно самый яркий хоккеист в истории НХЛ. Мак Дэвид хорош, но он не демонстрирует той яркой силовой и сумасшедшей энергии, которая была у Ови. А Грецки понял , что Овечкин обгонит его в гонке лучших снайперов после Гола Ови в ворота Аризоны

[@Shooter.96]

В СКА , где сейчас доигрывает Кузнецов, билет чуть дороже и арена интереснее и больше, наверно похожа на канадскую. Билет там стоит 20-30$ в регулярном 😅 это в городе Санкт-Петербург

Ovi will not only break Gretzky's record, but also open a "900+" club

Good morning from NYC

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Morning! Hello.

[@WoozyPolarBear]

I moved to Novosibirsk from Canada earlier this year. I used to go to NHL games for the Calgary Flames many times a year, and I just recently went to my first KHL game. Going to the games here made me feel like home. I call it Ice Hockey myself, as that is the official name of the sport. The governing body that overseas the rules is called IIHF, which stands for International ICE Hockey Federation. If it was just called hockey, then the governing body would be the IHF.. For a beginner fan of the sport, you really don't need to focus on all the rules. Just focus on the goals for each team.

Рассел, кроме хоккея на траве и хоккея на льду с шайбой есть еще хоккей на льду с мячем. Хоккей с мячом популярен в Сибири, в него играют на открытых стадионах и матчи собирают десятки тысяч зрителей, особенно он популярен в Сибири и в Швеции. Россия многократный чеипион мира по хоккею с мячем. Но обычно в России хоккеем называют хоккеф с шайбой. Это один из самых популярных в России видов спорта и Россия много раз выигрывала чемпионаты мира о Олимпиады по хоккею. Российская лига КХЛ считается самой сильной в Европе и второй по силе лигой в мире. Самой лучшей и богатой лигой является НХЛ -- североамериквнская лига, обьединяюща полсотни клубов из США и Канады. В этих клубах только половина игроков из США и Канады, остальные игроки из России ( больше 60 хоккеистов), из Швеции, Германии, Финляндии, Чехии, Словакии, Норвегии, Австрии, Дании ,Швейцарии, Латвии,Беларуси и других стран. Главная звезда НХЛ сейчас россиянин Александр Овечкин - он капитан клуба " Washington Capitals". Александр долгое время был самой яркой звездой лиги и сейчас в 39 лет побил почти все рекорды для нападающих в НХЛ и сейчас в шаге до звания лучшего бомбардира по числу голов в НХЛ за всю ее столетнюю историю. Многие россияне являются главными звездами америквнчких хоккейных клубоы - Кучеров в Тампе , Панарин в Вашингтоне и т.д. Еще интересной особенностью хоккея являются нередко вспыхивающие на льду драки. Обычно это драки один на один, но .ывают и коллективные драки. Так например несколько лет назад клубы "Витязь" ( матч которого ты посетил) и "Авангард" установили рекорд по колличеству полученных за драки штрафных минут. Но после матча нечсотря на драки хоккеисты пожимают друг другу руки. Среди болельщиков на стадионе драк между фанатами разных клубов не бывает, ы отличии от футбольных фанатов, драки между клторыми случаются довольно часто.

@АнатолийЕкимов-э2у справедливости ради, он хотя бы ударение поставил куда надо, а не как большинство))

@@kvazistat Вообще-то, русская буква "x" передаётся двумя буквами в английском "kh"... Английская "h" скорее гласный звук, чем согласный... "BalashiKHa"...

It's OK to refer to the sport just as hockey. I'm am a Mexican hockey writer 😂and as weird as it sounds, it's a fact. KHL is a great league and some of the best players in the KHL end up playing in the NHL, so, it's a great video you made, Russ. I love hockey not only because I make a living writing about it but in general is a great sport and compared to football... hockey is way better.

Я так же считаю хоккей лучшим видом спорта . В НХЛ сейчас играет больше 60 русских хоккеистов. А два из них являются капитанами команд - в Вашингтоне и Флориде

[@igermanmx]

@@СРостова Well, but Aleksander Barkov is considered as 'Finnish' LOL, even though the name that he has it's pretty obvious on his roots. I think Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Svechnikov are my two favorite NHL Russian players, but the guys in Columbus (Marchenko, Voronkov, Chinakhov, Provorov and Tarasov) are fun to watch.

[@СРостова]

@igermanmx я имел ввиду, что Барков русский по национальности а не по паспорту. Кучеров мой фаворит

Thanks.

HC Vityaz not really the best first experience. Not so much people, not good fan group. You need to go to HC Spartak Moscow to feel the real hockey 🫶

[@ГайМонтэг-н3к]

Так в России проводится объединенный чемпионат по хоккею? Вот бы такой сделать по футболу! Перед самым майданом высказывалась идея объединенного российско-украинского чемпионата, но по понятным причинам канула в Лету.

Если жена русская она не подсказывает как ехать?

I usually hear Canadian hockey fans trashing KHL. Ovechkin was booed in Canada many times, especially in Toronto and Deadmonton. They call themselves hockey connoisseurs, but are simple bigots who hate players based on their nation of origin . And their Sportsnet channel is biased and disgusting
