The schedule of 1st stage Korac Cup may change. At present Ural Great management is negotiating with Group L teams on changing the dates of several games to match Korac Cup games and hockey events. Maybe we will watch the first home game on October 6. It is rather difficult to do it as our opponent for this game will be the winner of the game in Kiev on September 22.
We should also change the date of the home game with Kalnapilis (Lithuania) from November 17 to October 28 as the Ural Great Club is planning a tour in the USA starting on November 15.
At the same time Nobiles (Poland) asks to change the date of its home game from November 10 to November 9 for the reason of TV broadcasting. |
