Avangard Hockey Club Embraces Team Bonding in St. Petersburg

The Avangard hockey club, currently training in St. Petersburg, is not only focusing on honing their skills on the ice, but also on fostering closer relationships off it. As part of this initiative, the team recently embarked on a boat trip on the Neva, with players and their families in tow.

Head coach Guy Boucher explained that this plan is designed to prepare the team not just for the ice, but for life. The boat trip was one of the stages of the team bonding activities, aimed at introducing athletes and their loved ones, promoting team closeness both on and off the ice.

During the trip, players and fans shared stories, laughter, and even gifts. One player presented a 101-year-old fan with a signed hockey stick, a heartwarming gesture that underscores the team's commitment to building strong connections.

The goal of this bonding exercise is to make the team closer not only during matches but also in life. By getting to know each other better, both on and off the ice, the team members are expected to develop a stronger sense of camaraderie and unity.

This focus on team bonding extends beyond the rink. The Avangard hockey club is committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment, where players and fans can come together to celebrate their shared love for the sport.

As the team continues their training camps in St. Petersburg, it's clear that they are not just working towards victory on the ice, but also towards building a strong and cohesive team off it. This commitment to teamwork and unity is sure to serve them well in the upcoming season.
