A master-class for referees in Nizhny Novgorod

On September 20th, classes for referees who are just beginning their careers took place in Nizhny Novgorod.

Professional referees Sergei Yudakov, Alexander Dudarov and Oksana Vdovina were the mentors.

The classes included a theoretical section in which the professional referees shared details concerning on-ice training and match preparation, before staging a question-and-answer session. During the on-ice session, the professionals conducted an interactive master class with regard to communication between referees and coaches, while the linesman demonstrated the methods and techniques of conducting faceoffs and shared recommendations from professional leagues.
