THE ORIGIN
From the USSR to the NHL Dream
2014.
The Veterans
Game.
My dream to visit Canada began in 2014 when I participated in a hockey veterans game with Phil Esposito. Many hockey fans already know about this legendary player, playing a career in the NHL and the Canadian National Team.
At the time I spoke no English at all, but I was eager to learn about the Canada-USSR Super Series firsthand. Chance and a bit of luck helped: In a few weeks I learned about this legendary guest from Canada and decided to prepare.
He looked at my jersey... and jokingly said that maybe the USSR national team lacked a goalie like that.
I had ordered pant shells to help Esposito remember his youth and all the great hockey moments. The battles against the Soviet team, specifically Tretiak, had been a huge challenge for Team Canada.
The Paradigm Shift
With the help of an interpreter, I asked about Ken Dryden and Valery Kharlamov. At that moment I realized that I wanted to personally immerse myself in the atmosphere of North American hockey... To develop my hockey skills by learning from true masters of their craft.

Idol & Mentor
The Power of
Patience
It's very hard to get on the ice when he's the best goaltender in the world! But I did not stop working.
Myshkin, who was Tretiak's backup, continued waiting for his chance. It came in 1979 at the Challenge Cup against the NHL All-Stars. Unexpectedly given the start, Myshkin did not disappoint, shutting out some of the world's best.
The legendary goalie is credited with winning the Olympics, European and World Championships, as well as the Canada Cup. His story inspires us to never give up on our dream because the result will always come!
