We present an overview of Zhukovsky's hockey news, talking about the performances of city teams in the Night Hockey League and the regional championship.

"League of Hope", Moscow. AHK Sukhoi made it through the first round of the playoffs, leaving no chance for Oka. The Muscovites tried to force a fight, responding to Mayshev's first goal and ending the opening period in a draw, but then the game was dictated by the Zhukovites. In the second third, Kalyakin, Piskarev and Maishev, who distinguished himself for the second time, created a solid lead. And in the final twenty minutes, Piskarev and Boychenko, who scored a double, brought the matter to defeat - 6:1. The “dry” have the quarterfinals ahead.

"Moscow region", East. The main match of the tour in the strongest regional division was the derby between Pobeda and NIIP. The price of the game was especially high for the “engineers”, since they had a real chance to reach third place. And all thanks to the “Fighters” who took the lead, who confidently dealt with Egoryevsk’s “Shield and Sword”, which had recently topped the table. Zhigunov's double, as well as goals from Zabelin, Yuryev and Blagov, provided a solid result - 5:1.

Well, the Zhukovsky derby ended in favor of Pobeda, and Abradushkin became the hero of the match. He opened the scoring with a power play midway through the first period. And he scored a double in the final third of the match – 2:0. “Victory” is two points behind “Fighters”, and NIIP, which has dropped to fifth place, is only one point away from third place.

"Moscow region", South. In the second division by status, NIIP-2, which continues to claim medals, won a strong-willed victory over Ramenskoye “Adamant”. The Zhukovites conceded one goal in the first period and another one at the beginning of the second. The turning point was a shot by Kashirin, who reduced the gap, and in the final twenty minutes, goals from Khokhlov and Konovalov tipped the scales in favor of the “engineers” - 3:2.

In the consolation round, Zhukovsky also had excellent results in this round, and “Alfa-Patriot” played a brilliant match against the second-place Tomilino “Katka”. Our fellow countrymen unpleasantly surprised the hosts by scoring two goals by the 10th minute through the efforts of Makeev and Karasev. Then, however, the favorite regained his balance and took the lead in the end, but a strong-willed draw was brought to the Zhukovites by Koptev’s throw – 3:3

We were also pleased to see “White Arrow” celebrate its first victory of the season, which managed to prevail over the Ramensky “Aviators”. Our team achieved a two-goal advantage after shots from Rakhov and E. Tikhonov. The opponent managed to get even, but two more successes of Tikhonov, who scored a hat-trick, turned out to be decisive. The Ramen team were only able to reduce the gap a minute before the final siren – 4:3.
