Nizhny Novgorod attacker “Torpedo” Sergey Goncharuk spoke about working under the team’s head coach Igor Larionov .
Larionov took over as head of Torpedo in May 2022. Under his leadership, the Nizhny Novgorod club took fourth place in the Western Conference standings of the Fonbet KHL Championship at the end of the 2022/23 regular season and reached the second round of the Gagarin Cup.
— Is it unusual to work with Igor Larionov? How was the adaptation to his hockey?
-Actually, I wouldn’t say I was rebuilding. It was such a breath of fresh air in terms of hockey, hockey-related behavior and everything else. It’s all a bit new, but it’s like your hands have been freed in a good way, you just start enjoying playing hockey and not working. And they explain everything calmly.
The most interesting thing is that I didn’t notice this only in myself. Yes, professionalism has increased, but after last year, young people who were in the KHL for the first year also grew,” Goncharuk said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
