Coach Kozyrev Discusses Teams Resilience After Travel Incident en Route to Omsk

The head coach of «Severstal,» Andrey Kozyrev, commented on the impact of the incident during the flight to Omsk following their away victory against «Avangard» (4:3 OT).

«The challenging flight to Omsk had no effect on the team. The guys from ‘Admiral’ and ‘Amur’ have been dealing with similar travel throughout the regular season. We encountered no issues; we prepared and played as usual,» Kozyrev’s words were reported by Championship correspondent Lev Lukin.

To recap, the plane carrying the players and coaching staff of «Severstal» was unable to land in Omsk due to fog while en route from Vladivostok and had to divert to Tyumen. As a result, the team arrived in Omsk later than expected.
