Moscow Ice Hockey Club Goalkeeper Coach “Dynamo” Konstantin Vlasov spoke about his work with the New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin .
Shesterkin is the 2018 Olympic champion and two-time Gagarin Cup winner with SKA. Since 2019, the Russian goalkeeper has been playing in the NHL.
– I remember Shesterkin for the fact that he always tried his luck. It is very important in professional sports. When I was invited to work in the Russian U15 team, Igor wasn’t even on the expanded list. In Novogorsk he appeared only two years later. We called him up to the U17 junior team ahead of the tournament in Canada and gave him a chance to show off, and he enjoyed it 100%. A year later, Igor already went to YuChM-2013 in Sochi as the first number, where he also performed at a good level. The next chance was given to him at SKA, and he took it. The same thing happened in Rangers – Metaratings.ru quotes Vlasov.
