Hockey players of the Pervomaisky district train on roller skates in the summer
A new sport, hockey on asphalt, began to be practiced by hockey players in the village of Belyay, Pervomaisky district. According to the local publication Zavety Ilyich, for 16 years the local school has had a skating rink where training sessions for children and adults take place every winter. “In large cities, where there are modern ice palaces, hockey players have the opportunity to train all year round, but rural athletes, unfortunately, are forced to take long breaks.
