Russian Siarhei Brylin has been appointed head coach of the Belarus national ice hockey team. The Executive Committee of the Belarusian Ice Hockey Federation approved the decision at a meeting today.
In July 2026, Brylin became head coach of Minsk-based Dynama Minsk. He will now combine his work at the club with leading the national team.
The coaching staff of the national team under Brylin will be announced later.
“Of course, this is a very pleasant and exciting moment. I understand how responsible this position is. I have already seen how much people in Belarus love hockey and how they support Dynama Minsk, and becoming the head coach of the country’s national team is a great honor and a great responsibility,” the head coach was quoted as saying by the Belarusian Ice Hockey Federation’s press service.
