When will Lokomotiv's champions parade take place? Yaroslavl is waiting

Yaroslavl is preparing to welcome the champions

A week ago, on May 21, Yaroslavl's Lokomotiv won the main trophy of the Kontinental Hockey League, the Gagarin Cup, for the first time in its history. Of course, fans are eagerly awaiting the ceremonial parade in honor of the victory, but for now everything remains in question.

Waiting and questions

Some fans hoped that the parade would take place on City Day, May 31, but there have been no official statements on this matter. The Yaroslavl authorities are in no hurry to announce the date of the event, which causes discontent among fans.

Response from the authorities

In response to questions from fans, the regional sports ministry said it shared the joy of the team's victory and supported the idea of honoring the champions. The date of the event, they promised, would be announced in advance and widely covered in the media and social networks of HC Lokomotiv, the government of the Yaroslavl region and other news sources.

Champion paraphernalia

In addition, fans are eagerly awaiting information about the championship paraphernalia, but so far there is none. Perhaps details will appear after May 29, when the Kontinental Hockey League holds the official closing ceremony of the season.

Award nominees

We remind you that from Yaroslavl Lokomotiv, Igor Nikitin, Daniil Isaev and Egor Surin are among the contenders for the titles of best coach, goalkeeper and newcomer, respectively.
