The boy wrote to the head of state that his hockey stick was broken and asked for a new one. The President responded.

Appeal to the hotline of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin helped make the dream of a young hockey player from Omsk come true. In one of the matches Semyon Pokidova the stick broke, and the boy asked the head of state for a new one.

“They ran into my stick with a skate and it cracked.” After the New Year, I found out that I could write to Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and sent a message to the hotline that my hockey stick was broken and I would like to get a new one,” Semyon said. “About two weeks later, my mother and I received a call and were told where we could pick up a new hockey stick. I am very glad that Vladimir Vladimirovich is such a generous and kind person.

A gift from the President of Russia was presented to the young athlete by the famous Avangard player, Honored Coach of the Russian Federation Evgeniy Shastin.

– I am very pleased that I had such a mission – to present a professional hockey stick to a young Omsk resident on behalf of our president. I am sure that if the president pays attention and gives such gifts to our children, we will only be stronger for it! – noted Evgeny Shastin.

Semyon Pokidov also received a jersey for the children’s team from the Evgeniy Shastina hockey school. The boy himself has been playing in the yard team “Crystal” since he was 8 years old.
