To date, Pokrovsk is one of the most sports cities in the region. Nearly fifty kinds of sports are actively developing there. Twenty sports clubs are visited by about twelve thousand children and adults, which is about a fifth of the total number of residents of the city. Children of settlers are engaged in sections for free.
Recently, Pokrovsk has been actively taking competitions, tournaments, championships, not only regional, but all-Ukrainian level. Over the past year, about one hundred and fifty sports events were held. But it’s all about summer sports. Residents of Pokrovsk had long dreamed about an ice arena. Not everybody can afford to take children to drill in Druzhkovka because of lack of funds and time.
The dream of the residents of Druzhkovka can become a reality. This was said in an exclusive interview with “ZI” by Borys Kolesnikov, the president of the hockey club “Donbass”:
According to Borys Viktorovich, the necessary funds for construction can be allocated by the city, regional and state budgets. And HC "Donbass" will provide a modern ice arena with coaches, personnel, techniques and equipment.
