The names of the tournament participants will probably mean nothing to a wide circle of fans. But for scouts around the world, the Minsk competition is a valuable opportunity to see future stars with their own eyes. For example, 16-year-old Ivan Ryabkin is already considered the favorite of the 2025 National Hockey League draft. It is not surprising that a dozen scouts come from abroad to the tournament.
The tournament will be held in a round-robin format. The Russian teams will meet on Wednesday, February 7. You can watch this match on the Match!Country TV channel. The match will start at 15:25 Moscow time.
