Former goaltender of the Russian national ice hockey team Constantin Barouline said who he considers the most Russified legionnaire he played with.
Barulin currently plays for third Swedish league club Borås.
—The most Russified legionnaire of those you had to play with? Jan Bulis. We could no longer call him Czech, because he was Russian. He knew the language well, they were quickly attracted to the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the language is closer to him than that of Canadians or Finns. He spoke well, communicated with the Russians all the time – both during training and after training, a positive guy, always smiling and supporting everyone in the locker room. He had a family in the Czech Republic, that’s true,” Barulin said, as quoted by Championship.
Jan Bulis, bronze medalist at the 2006 Turin Olympic Games, played for Atlanta, near Moscow, from 2007 to 2011, and for Traktor Chelyabinsk, from 2011 to 2015.
