Hockey player Tkachev of Omsk's "Avangard" met with a coach from another team in the sauna.
Hangin' with the Jokers: Tkachev, Verba, and a Sauna Adventure!
Guess who hit up a swanky sauna together? None other than the slick scorer for Omsk Avangard, Vladimir Tkachev, ex-team player Mark Verba, and Victor Alexandrov, trusted coach of Metallurg Novokuznetsk. Vermba shared a cool snap from the day on his Telegram channel, captioned "Bathhouse shenanigans in high-class company." Looks like old Avangard mate Tkachev, along with Alexandrov, were joining the fun, according to the cryptic picture.
By the way, in case you missed it, Mark Verba used to be a quit player for Omsk Avangard, but last week, the team gave a shout-out to not only Verba but also seven other players, which suggested they were all leaving the team.
Now, as for Vladimir Tkachev, Avangard re-upped him for the upcoming season all the way until the end of 2029-2030. But rumors have been swirling about him bailing on the team. Some hypotheses even point to a move to Yekaterinburg's Avtomobilist with Rid Bushe. But there's no concrete evidence to back up these rumors yet.
