President of the hockey club "Donbass" Boris Kolesnikov in an exclusive interview with the popular sports portal terrikon.com thanked everyone who supported the team in the final game of the Continental Cup Super Final, paid special tribute to the web portal terrikon.com and ICTV channel, and made ​​the following statement:

"First of all, I would like to thank all the fans for their support of the hockey клуб "Donbass". The individual words of thanks - to the ICTV and terrikon.com. As for the Kontinental Hockey League, in the club's development plan there is no the exact date of filing the application to the KHL - in the year of 2013 or at any other time. The decision about filing the application will directly depend on our sports results. If the "Donbass" will take part in the Cup final Bratina, then next logical step - filing in the KHL. At this point we have an arrangement with Mr. Medvedev, with a reasonable delay in time to build a new Arena and a team for Youth Hockey League. If we perform this season ​​bad, then it would not be logical in our application to the KHL.

So all that remains is to continue cheer for our team and expect to be successful performance at the High Hockey League", - said President of HC "Donbass".
