In our district «Marjino» we’ve got “Ice palace”, where children of all ages can play ice-hockey.

Some pupils of our school like this kind of sport and go in for it.

They are: Khvorostov Gleb, the pupil of the seventh form, Khvatov Bogdan, the pupil of the fifth form. They began to train at the age of five. When lessons are over they are in a hurry to the Ice Palace five or six times a week. Their sports school is called after (A. Ragulin) a famous hockey-player A. Ragulin.
