Governor Gleb Nikitin thanked "Torpedo" for the season.

      "Bravo, Torpedo! I sincerely want to say that I am proud of our guys! Today, Alexey Isakov's team, which debuted in the KHL this season, fought heroically against Metallurg, the best team of the regular season, and lost only in overtime," emphasized Gleb Sergeyevich on his social media pages shortly before Saturday arrived. "We went through this season in one breath, overcoming the first round of the playoffs in an excellent series, showing character, playing for each other and for all of Nizhny, for the entire region," continued the governor of Nizhny Novgorod region. "I thank the team for their perseverance; the guys went through all the trials shoulder to shoulder throughout the season. We shared victories and defeats with them, sincerely worried and followed how the team was forming. There were quite a few tests of strength, and I believe that Torpedo stood firm and definitely became stronger. The team proved that it has a core. Special thanks to the 'sixth player' – the fans! 'Fierce,' you pushed the team forward. In those moments when it seemed that victory was left to the opponent, your energy helped the hockey players create miracles seconds before the end of the matches. 'Deeds louder than words' – the slogan of our team's playoffs resonated with thousands of fans across the Nizhny Novgorod region and beyond. Guys, thank you from all of us. It was truly, in a Nizhny way."

      Gleb Nikitin also wrote: the club has long been without the Gorky Automobile Plant, which was its partner before, but now next to Torpedo is the Vyksa Metallurgical Plant and OMK. The head of the region expressed gratitude for this support. Alexander Rylov
