Former hockey player “Ak Barsa” Danis Zaripov told that his comrade Sergei Moziakin became coach this season “Metallurgy” should spend a match on the bench, but still can’t leave it.
Mozyakin became assistant head coach of Metallurg on October 31. In 2021, he finished his hockey career. Mozyakin is the top scorer in KHL history (928). With Metallurg, he won the Gagarin Cup twice (2014, 2016).
— What is the contribution of the top scorer in the history of the league, Sergei Mozyakin, to the fact that Metallurg occupies first place in the East?
— Sergei stayed on the bench during a match to boost the guys’ morale. And he still cannot leave the bench to fully commit to his profession, which the club offered him. I don’t know how Mozyakin plays this game. To be honest, I almost never saw him on TV. In Metallurg, the focus is entirely on head coach Andrei Razin. But Sergei Valerievich appears in the frame only once during the match. I don’t understand at all what he is doing there,” Zaripov told .
Metallurg is in first place in the Eastern Conference standings, scoring 78 points in 56 matches.
