Hockey, tenderness and thousands of colors: a calendar with girls from the Russian women's Hockey League

Girls from the Women's Hockey League (ZHHL) starred naked for the New Year's calendar. 12 Russian hockey players from seven ZHHL clubs participated in the photo shoot. The athletes reported that the purpose of the project was to demonstrate the tenderness, purity, sincerity and sophistication of the athletes. At least a thousand flowers were plucked for the project.

"The most beautiful, feminine and gentle calendar," the publication was signed in the ZHHL account. Representatives of the league noted that the calendar is designed to demonstrate the purity and sincerity of the athletes.

People in the comments did not skimp on compliments to the athletes. "Super—beautiful girls," the fans say. At the same time, some users considered the photos too modest.

Alina Orlova. The SK Gornyzhenskaya Hockey League was formed on June 19, 2015. Prior to the creation of the league, hockey players played in the Russian championship. At the moment, seven teams from seven cities are playing in the ZHHL — Ufa, Ukhta, Krasnoyarsk, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod and Dmitrov.

This is how hockey girls look in combat gear.

And so — on the ice arena.
