We spoke to Igor Shiskov, Dinamo Elektrostal “This EuroHockey Club Trophy tournament in Russia is the first time we have hosted this event. We are very happy to host and happy that HC Dinamo Elektrostal was awarded that right. It is also great that Polytan, who signed a contract with the city of Elektrostal will reconstruct the hockey stadium. This is a great event not only for the city but for the whole of Russian hockey! In Elecktrostal the installation of a new modern surface Polytan Mega Cool platinum is the same pitch as at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. It is the first big hockey project of Polytan in Russia! We are always happy to accept any level of tournament, but having these great clubs in Russia will be wonderful!. Thanks to Polytan and with the EHF’s permission, the event will be the Polytan EuroHockey Club Trophy.”

Many thanks to those clubs who offered and were not selected, no doubt we will be in their clubs another year! And congratulations to the 2017 hosts. It is especially pleasing for us to have four of the events being played on our partner’s Polytan pitches, in Munich, Elektrostal, Vinnitsa and Lipovci. We are looking forward to working with all our hosts over the coming months to deliver top level EuroHockey events!”
