Olympic champion Nikolai Khabibulin shared his impressions of the SKA development camp.
“The camp for the development of young hockey players is a very good idea. The collection itself in St. Petersburg is going great, the conditions are amazing. I haven't seen that even in the NHL. Just class!
The first shift of the children's summer camp at the Hockey Development Center #RedMachine has ended
Thanks to all the children and their parents for choosing us.

Beautiful summer Saturday on ice 🏒
How is your Saturday? Ours is like this. In the SKA development camp in the "Hockey City" - the fifth day. The players missed hockey so much that they are ready to take pucks even from their own! What, in fact, they do under the close supervision of coaches.
Outdoor work 💪🏻
Summer, sun, sand... and WORK! In Hockey City. - the fourth day of the Development Camp for young players.
And then, of course, they also worked out on the ice, where would it be without him.

The legendary Soviet and Russian hockey player Igor Larionov, two-time Olympic champion, three-time Stanley Cup winner, visited the SKA development camp, which started in St. Petersburg on the basis of the Hockey City.
“To be honest, everything that I see in St. Petersburg is no different from what I saw in Detroit, Los Angeles and Chicago. The main value of this camp is that it takes place in the summer, because now you can concentrate on the details: fix something, improve something. All this will make the players better. It is right that we took something good from North America and applied it in Russia.
So far, everything I've seen in hockey city is very cool. Firstly, there is everything for the comfortable work of a hockey player: ice, a gym, various training facilities for physical training, a medical center. Secondly, the complex is located very close to the arena, which is also very convenient,” said Larionov to the “Championship”.
Children's training camps continue at the #RedMachine Hockey Development Center.
The main focus of the training is on stick and puck handling skills, physical fitness and individual technique of young athletes.

In early July, the site published material about the new base of the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. The newly built complex is so modern and convenient that for the first time in a long time the “railroad workers” did not go to training camps abroad, this summer they are training at home. However, Yaroslavl is by no means the only Russian city where such a base has appeared. In February of this year, the Hockey City multifunctional complex built by SKA was opened in St. Petersburg.
The current holders of the Gagarin Cup have their own base. Until that moment, the club had to move between Ice and Yubileiny, rent ice for training, and look for venues suitable for pre-season training camps. Now the Hockey City project has helped unite all teams of the SKA system in one complex.
It is not difficult to assess the scale of the complex. The impressive territory with a total area of 33,120 square meters is fully equipped not only for hockey, but also just for a comfortable pastime. By the way, the "Hockey City" is located literally a stone's throw from the Ice - the arena where SKA holds home matches.
Under the roof of the complex there are two ice arenas. One of them is training, its size is 60x30 meters.
The second arena already has stands that can accommodate 1,500 spectators. The size of the site is 58x28 meters. It is equipped with modern game lighting systems, a multimedia screen, sound equipment, in general, everything that is necessary for a match.
The arena has already passed its "baptism of fire" - at KHL playoff matches, the stands turned into a fan zone for SKA fans, and in the summer, work was in full swing on the ice at the Pavel Datsyuk School: the eminent forward set up a hockey camp for children here. The arena also hosted real competitions - one of the stages of the Student Hockey League was held in the Hockey City. And in the upcoming season, the SKA-1946 youth team and the SKA-Neva VHL team will play here.
In the near future, a children's and youth sports school called the SKA Army will start operating on the basis of the Hockey City. Young players will train on the same ice as Ilya Kovalchuk and Pavel Datsyuk - this is already enough incentive for growth.
The SKA locker room provides everything a team needs - a massage room, a kitchen, a laundry room, access to a spa area with steam rooms, a swimming pool, a video room, and, of course, a coaching room.
SKILLMILL simulators became the basis of the gym for strength and functional training of players. This is a functional simulator that allows you to train for power, speed, endurance and agility at the same time.
The martial arts hall helps to diversify classes. By the way, it is freely available for rent to fans of wrestling and boxing.
The universal sports hall is a warm-up area before games and training, and at the same time a space for playing mini-football, volleyball, basketball and tennis.
The complex also has its own hotel with 78 beds. During the training camp, the teams of the SKA system are located here. Next to the hotel there is a spa area with a total area of 155 square meters, of which 55 is an aqua zone. There is also a sauna and a Turkish steam room.
The open territory of the complex includes two tennis courts, a football field with stands equipped with multimedia equipment, and jogging tracks. In winter, the football ground turns into an outdoor skating rink, which also hosts matches and public skating.
All Hockey City venues are available for rent by both professionals and amateurs. Prices correspond to the average for the city, and comfort in the complex is at the highest level. At the same time, "Hockey City" is not a closed base, but an object of sports leisure that is quite accessible to citizens. And, of course, the home for SKA teams.
In the "Hockey City" in the near future, it is planned to open an equipment center, a hockey museum, a restaurant area and one of the most important components - a hockey development center, where the most modern specialized simulators will be collected to train future hockey stars.
the site thanks the press service of HC SKA for help in preparing the material
