Beginner “Lokomotiv” Alexander Radulov said he wanted to join the Yaroslavl team to fight for victory in the Gagarin Cup.
Ak Bars did not renew Radulov’s contract, and in June the forward agreed a one-year deal with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl.
— I know Igor Valerievich very well, I always enjoyed working with him during those two seasons at CSKA. There is one more point: at the age of 13-14 I studied at a sports boarding school in Yaroslavl, played for Torpedo, which later became Lokomotiv. Over the years, all that nostalgia has returned. Lokomotiv now has a young team, great hockey players, an excellent team. Last year they proved it. I wanted to go to this club and fight for the cup. Personally, I understand that there are chances.
We talked a lot before and after signing the contract. Igor Valerievich explained how he sees me in the team, what he would demand from me. All this was discussed, everything suited me and him. All that remains is to work and prove. I must give results and do what I was hired to do, ”Radulov said in“ Championship ”.
Last season, the 38-year-old Ak Bars forward scored 40 (16+24) points in 58 KHL regular season games, adding 4 (1+3) points in four playoff games.
Previously, Radulov played in Russia for CSKA and Salavat Yulaev Ufa, and also played in the NHL for Nashville, Montreal and Dallas. As a member of the Russian national team, he became a two-time world champion.
