Coach of the Russian national ice hockey team Alexei Zhamnov talked about the meeting Sergei Gonchar at the NHL clubVancouver Canucks “.
On Sunday, it was announced that former Pittsburgh Pittsburgh hockey player and now Zhamnov’s national team assistant Sergei Gonchar has become a member of the Vancouver Canucks coaching staff. Previously, Bruce Boudreau was replaced by Rick Tocquet at the club. Gonchar will be in charge of Tocquet’s technical staff to work with the defenders.
– The appointment of Sergei Gonchar in Vancouver is expected, we were talking about it. I wrote to him, I congratulated him, but it was dark, so I haven’t called yet. They worked with Rick Tocquet in Pittsburgh, they know each other well, so there is chemistry. It’s not just because they won together. I hope Sergey will be able to sort out the Canucks’ predicament, “Championship” quotes Zhamnov.
– Is his work as a coach in the Russian national team over?
– It turns out that at the moment – yes. Lucky for Gonchar, another Russian coach will work in the NHL. Whether he stands on the bench or just works in the system, as a coach for the development of defenders, it is better to find out from Seryoga himself.
