Krasnoyarsk Governor Alexander Khloponin presented a souvenir gift – a golden map of the Krasnoyarsk Territory decorated with diamonds – to Alexander Semin, the world ice hockey champion 2008, at the ceremony of State Awards of Krasnoyarsk citizens on May 22.
 
After the ceremony Semin answered questions about the championship asked by Khloponin. As the world champion confessed to journalists later, "It is a great pleasure when you are paid such attention to." According to him, such ceremonies do not bother him, "It was much more difficult to win at the field." The ice hockey player has a calm attitude to the fact that Russia's national team won the Canadians at their native field, "Last year Canada beat us in Moscow, and now we win them in Canada. Nothing special."
 
When asked about his plans for the future, Semin said he was going to stay in Krasnoyarsk, have rest and just sleep very well. The ice hockey player said he had no other detailed plans.
