In a significant move to foster the growth of hockey in the Omsk region, HC Avangard has announced the creation of a player development pipeline. The pipeline, which spans from grassroots to the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), aims to identify, develop, and nurture young, talented hockey players from the region.
According to Tatiana Kozlova, the head of public relations at Omsk's Avangard, the pipeline includes the academy and extends to the streets, with an estimated 9,000 people set to be involved in total. This includes approximately 8,000 young athletes and another 1,000 through a training laboratory for coaches and high-level staff.
The pipeline's focus remains on athletes from the Omsk region, with school hockey programs and ongoing rink construction in the region providing a solid foundation. To further bolster these efforts, HC Avangard has established a hockey academy in the region and has set up teams in the MHL and VHL leagues.
In addition to developing talent, HC Avangard is committed to improving coaching quality. The club has plans to train and support coaches through education programs, ensuring that they are equipped to nurture the next generation of hockey stars.
The ultimate goal for the best players is progression through the pipeline and eventual placement in the KHL. The pipeline's development is being reported by TASS, signalling its importance in the hockey community.
With the pipeline's creation, HC Avangard is demonstrating its commitment to nurturing local talent and contributing to the national sport. As the pipeline takes shape, it is expected to provide exciting opportunities for young hockey players in the Omsk region.
