Club wants reassurance from the City about the building of the new arena

In a TV interview to channel "hockey" Levy L'viv President Igor Churkin said that before the next season the club may withdraw from the Ukrainian Professional League due to lack of arena in L'viv.

"Today for us the most important thing is building a new arena. We are the only team that hasn't a "home". We are a L'viv team, but we play in Novoyavorivs’k in the small Lyodova Arena. Our goal is to develop hockey in the city. This season we plan to play again in Novoyavorivs'k, but if there is no decision to build a new arena in L'viv, then it will be very difficult to find arguments for participation in the new season"- said Churkin.
