The main feature of this meeting was that the game was held outdoors. Around the ice rink were a lot of people, locals could not indifferently pass by and stopped to enjoy that game. Everyone was in anticipation of the upcoming match. The weather was cool but for real hockey fans the weather is not a hindrance.

Say at once, Belarussian team "K-2", led by the immortal leader Nikolai Kopytov won with a score of 15: 8, but in spite of it, a friendly atmosphere was on the court. The teams gave the souvenirs to each other and promised to assist in the development of amateur hockey.

We hope that this experience, which our guys have reached, will help us to see hockey in the open air as part of the regular season LHL Belarus.
