"Religiously Inspired Admirations": Yakupov, the Assailant of Avangard, Praises Omsk's Fan Base

In the heart of Siberia, the city of Omsk is known for its unwavering love for hockey, a passion that has left a lasting impression on Nail Yakupov, forward for Avangard. Comparing it to a religion, Yakupov finds the dedication and enthusiasm for the sport in Omsk to be truly unique and unlike any other city he has experienced.

During a recent conversation at the 'Yahoo All-Star Game,' Yakupov shared his admiration for the city's hockey culture with Maxim Sushinsky, who reminisced about the sport in Omsk 20 years ago. Sushinsky noted that the fans in Omsk in 2004 were just as passionate as they are now.

Yakupov also highlighted the genuine love for the game and their team in Omsk, stating that he hasn't seen such dedication elsewhere. After a match, around 60 kids can be found on the street outside the 'G Drive Arena', waiting for autographs and photos with hockey players, even past midnight. This demonstrates the equal love for hockey in Omsk, even compared to his experiences in Canada.

While Yakupov did not provide a list of Omsk restaurants for foreigners in the conversation, he did create one at some point, although the exact location or platform where he created this list is not specified in the available search results. Regardless, his efforts show a commitment to making foreigners feel welcome in the city and helping them navigate the local scene.

The love for hockey in Omsk is undeniable, and it continues to draw players and fans alike to this passionate city. Whether it's the atmosphere at the games, the dedication of the fans, or the unique experiences outside the arena, Omsk stands out as a city where hockey is more than just a sport—it's a way of life.
