Torpedo’s roster took off on Friday for two exhibition games against Team Great Britain. David Nemirovsky’s team – noted last season for a pre-season program that began in May rather than July – is cutting short its summer break to help GB prepare for its upcoming World Championship campaign. The Nizhny Novgorod men will play back-to-back games in Nottingham (Saturday, 1900 local time, 2100 Moscow time) and Sheffield (Sunday, 1600 local, 1800 Moscow).
