Interviews were taken after Russia U20 became champions of the 3x3 Future Cup at the Sibir Arena.
Russia U20 defenseman Nikita Poltavchuk:
"I really enjoyed the competition! We had more room for creative play. Furthermore, I like playing here in Novosibirsk! The city is fantastic, and we can see just how the fans love ice hockey."
Russia U18 goalkeeper Yakov Kazantsev:
"There were plenty of odd-man rushes during the tournament! It served as a useful experience for us. Thank you to the supporters for creating such a wonderful atmosphere!"
Russia U20 forward Mikhail Melikov:
"It's always interesting to play 3-on-3. There's consequently more space available, the teams protect possession of the puck better and we have more freedom. I helped our team win by equalising and subsequently converting my penalty shot."
