The Rodina–Yenisey match will take place despite cracks that have appeared in the stadium.

      Recall that today, December 24, during morning practice the players of Krasnoyarsk hockey club Yenisey saw deep cracks that had formed across the entire width of the Rodina Stadium. At the time the club's coach said he doubted the game scheduled for today would take place. However, the match inspector said the game would still take place at the previously scheduled time. HC Yenisey's group has already commented on the "repair" of the ice. According to the team's forward, the rink looks fine, but whether the ice will hold all 22 players at once will be seen after the warm-up.
