Yakupov to stay with Avangard for two more years

Avangard Hockey Club has signed forward Nail Yakupov to a two-year contract extension.

The player joined our team earlier this season, has scored 22 (11+11) in 25 games and is plus-four.

German Chistyakov, Avangard HC General Director:

- From the very first games after returning to the team, Yakupov has been showing by example that character, hard work, commitment and, of course, skills, allow one to come a long way. That is exactly the kind of leaders Avangard needs, and we are happy to sign Nail for a two-year contract extension.
