Athletistic/Hockey. Maxim Sushinsky spoke about his time in the United States, where he played for the Minnesota Wild in the 2000/2001 season.

“I spent a lot of time in the United States with a youth team, so this country was not new to me. Of course, in terms of hockey, America seemed like a space compared to Russia. You come in and they’re already washing your uniform, cleaning it after you. I put my stuff down, and it’s already clean. Go out and play hockey.

I was surprised that everyone greeted me and asked how I was. At first I thought it was real interest, but then I realized that it was just a greeting and no one really cares about you, ”shared his memories with the RIA Novosti Sport agency .

In the 2000/2001 season for the Minnesota Wild, the forward played 30 matches, scoring 11 (7+4) points. Sushinsky graduated from SKA and played for the St. Petersburg club from 1990 to 1996, then from 2006 to 2011.
