Agent and hockey expert Alexey Dementyev suggested which of the Russian coaches could work in the National Hockey League.
— In the NHL, only those who have experience and show serious results here are sought after. Besides Larionov, what comes to mind is Andrei Kozyrev . He played in North America, knows the language, has an idea of what hockey is there.
It’s difficult to name anyone else. We create conditions for visiting foreigners. In the NHL, it is impossible to imagine working with an interpreter, so knowledge of the language is an extremely important skill,” Dementiev told Metaratings.ru.
Igor Larionov currently directs the Torpedo; the coach recently extended his contract with the club until 2027. Kozyrev has been working as head coach of Severstal since the 2023/24 season; he previously worked as an assistant at Torpedo and SKA.
