Mikhail Semenikhin speaks after Russia 25 won in Tula

Following Russia 25's confident 6:2 triumph over Belarus in Tula as a part of the Liga Stavok Big National Team Tour, our team received the trophy for winning the series while individual players were also presented with their individual awards.

An active participant in the ceremony was General Director of BAIC RUS Mikhail Semenikhin, a representative of the Russian Ice Hockey Federation's new partner - BAIC. On the ice, he presented a certificate for a test drive of a BAIC car to forward Sergei Tolchinsky, who was recognised by a special jury as the best player of the match. Furthermore, in the dressing room, defenseman Ivan Vydrenkov received a similar prize as he was chosen as the best player of the game by his teammates.



General Director of BAIC RUS Mikhail Semenikhin:

- Our team played brilliantly, displaying the kind of ice hockey which every citizen of our country can be proud of. I wish for all fans to always experience the same emotions which I experienced today.

We are one big team. We have a lot in common: we are a dynamic company with history, while ice hockey is the tradition and pride of our country. I think we will build our cooperation on this. By the way, after Tolchinsky had received his prize, he gave his ice hockey stick to me!

We already have a slogan: “BAIC is the Red Car.” Our team is a model of courage, our car is a model of reliability, and courage and reliability are what everyone needs.
