SKA's statement regarding the fire at the SKA Arena

Following the completion of the 2023/2024 KHL Gagarin Cup playoffs, HC SKA has not held - and does not hold - a contract with the SKA Arena and has not been present at the venue.

The SKA Arena will not feature during SKA's 2024/2025 pre-season. Our players will train in Novogorsk and Sochi before subsequently hosting the Nikolai Puchkov Tournament at the Saint Petersburg Ice Palace, so therefore this fire does not affect our schedule whatsoever. Details regarding the incident at the SKA Arena should be attained through the stadium's press-office, but, of course, this is a worrying situation, as there is nothing more important that the safety of those who would have been located inside the venue. Thankfully, the fire didn't occur during the season and no one was hurt.
