SKA before Arseniy Gritsyuk In an interview with , he said that he already roughly understands the preparation plan in order to approach the NHL season in optimal shape.
Gritsyuk was drafted”New Jersey “in 2019 in the fifth round with the 129th place in the overall standings. In the 2024/25 season, the hockey player will play as part of the St. Petersburg team SKA in the KHL. The contract with the 23-year-old forward is for one season.
— What do you need to improve next season to reach the NHL level?
— I skated at a camp at the Arktika complex, where many NHL guys came. However, you see where they are stronger and what they are better at. I think everyone has their own qualities. Basically, Yegor Chinakhov has a crazy shot. Marcello (Kirill Marchenko) skated with us, and it is clear that his dribbling is at the highest level. There were also defenders – Sergach (Mikhail Sergachev), Sanya Romanov. You look at them, they seem to be the same. But each one surprises you with something of his own. The defenders, of course, are at a high level in skating, they work a lot on it this summer.
“I understand that next summer I will have to slightly change my preparation for the season. Because in the NHL there are no pre-season camps, and in mid-September you show up ready for training camp. In general, yes, I roughly understand in which direction I need to go,” Gritsyuk told .
Last season, Gritsyuk played 60 matches for the St. Petersburg military team and scored 44 (23+21) points with a utility indicator of “+10”. SKA was eliminated from the Gagarin Cup in the quarterfinals, losing the series to Avtomobilist 1–4.
