Offensive “Torpedo” Alexandre Darin admitted that he had never played the kind of hockey that the head coach puts in the Nizhny Novgorod team Igor Larionov .
The double Olympic champion led the club’s coaching staff during the off-season.
– Igor Nikolaevich Larionov is probably my first coach to promote such a different type of hockey. I never had that. No throws, play only with the puck, one under the other, short pass. This has never happened in my experience. For the first time, hockey is only instilled with the puck, such dominance that it has to dictate its own rules. The whole team likes him very much, everyone appreciates him. More importantly, he asks us to have fun. Hockey is a game, not a job. This is the main thing he teaches us.
In pre-season we had everything in moderation. They came, took the tests, he examined our condition – and began to work. He corrected our condition: somewhere individually, somewhere he added a little more hall, somewhere a little more terrain. I liked it a lot, I liked this pre-season. They did what was necessary, the most important, – quotes the words of Darin “Championship”.
The new KHL season begins on September 1.
