Athletistic/Hockey. Salavat Yulaev defender Nicolas Melosh shared his memories of the matches between the Canadian and Russian national teams during the Youth Super Series.
“I played six Super Series matches with Russia. It seems to me that I am one of the leaders in this indicator. I remember very well how passionate these meetings were, how emotions boiled in them . It was incredible to participate in the eternal confrontation, playing against so many great opponents. All the matches were close and the battle continued until the very end. The Russian game system was different from the Canadian one, which made the matches more difficult. That was the main difference, and it’s harder to say about everything else.
The most dangerous players of the Russian national team? At that time it was Valentin Zykov and Ivan Barbashev – two great players who can first apply strong force to you, and then still score,” Melosh said in “Championship”.
Nicolas Meloche has experience playing in the NHL. The 26-year-old Canadian joined Salavat Yulaev this season. In 15 matches in KZL, the defender has 7 (1+6) points thanks to the goal+pass system.
