“We also want to complete the defense before the end of the basic part. Thanks to Ciampini’s departure, we had a place for foreigners, so we decided to reach for Zachar. Another reason is that Cody Donaghey has been injured for a long time. Now, at the end of the season, it will be good for us to have a wide range, “explains the head coach and sports manager of the Knights, David Čermák.
A native of Novokuznetsk, he completed the first training with the Kladno team on Monday after the victory over Sparta, which was the second in a row for Central Bohemia. The Knights’ lead over the last Zlín thus increased to 14 points.
“I’m coming to Kladno from a club that probably doesn’t make it to the playoffs at KHL and there were some other things that made me decide to change clubs. I am glad that we agreed with Kladno. I will do everything in my power to help the Knights to the rescue, “said Arzamascev, who also played seven matches for the Russian senior national team.
“I’m looking forward to the matches and I’m ready to take on any role in the team. Jaromír Jágr was a great motivator for my arrival in Kladno, he has a large share in the transfer, “says the defender, who played 17 KHL matches for Avtomobilist this season and scored one assist.
“We have very good references for Zachar, which is confirmed by the fact that he played the KHL steadily for so many years. He is only twenty-nine years old, so he should be a quality reinforcement, “believes Čermák.
