According to Valery, the Polytech team won four games in a row at the regional competition:

"I managed to score six goals and make two assists. National team hockey players do not train together and do not play regularly together. However, we were able to show real teamwork in the competition."

Konstantin Nasonov scored more than 10 goals. The student is studying oil and gas drilling at the technical school.

"We played all four games without any remarks; we tried to attack our opponents from the first minutes. I play first season for "Irkutsk Polytech". I became a silver medalist of the Championship of the Student Ball Hockey League as a part of the team", - said Konstantin.

The student added that he has been playing ball hockey for 11 years. His father, the legendary player of "Baikal-Energy" Aleksandr Nasonov, is an example to him.
