American hockey player Alex Galcheniouk hasn’t chosen a top club to play the rest of his career, but he’s going to “Love” in which he can show his abilities and help the team, the former head coach of the Russian national team told Vladimir Pluschev .
On Friday it became known that Amur had signed a contract with former SKA striker Galchenyuk, with the deal with the 30-year-old striker being for one season.
— Galchenyuk is an experienced player. “Amur” will benefit from the experience of an NHL hockey player. There are a lot of young players in Love. Moreover, Galchenyuk did not choose a top club to finish the match, but actually goes to a team where he can use his strength and experience. Galchenyuk is not chasing big contracts and is not going to engage in personal PR.
— Did Galchenyuk live up to expectations with his play at SKA?
— Moving from one championship to another, and in a club which has too many experienced players, always leaves a certain mark. SKA put young players on a par with experienced masters when they did not forgive mistakes and expressive play. I mean a lot of first line players moved to the third and fourth lines. In such conditions, a player cannot always find himself and demonstrate his abilities. That’s why Galshenyuk chose Khabarovsk, I think,” Plyushchev told .
Galchenyuk joined SKA in August 2023. Last season, the striker participated in 70 SKA matches, scored 18 goals and made 29 assists.
Previously, the forward played in the NHL, where he collected 354 (146+208) points in 654 matches.
