NHL Hall of Famer and former Russian national team player Pavel Bure reported to that he supported the initiative of his 11-year-old son Pavel to study at the Suvorov military school.
Bure Sr. told in November 2023 that he took his son Pavel from the CSKA hockey section and now Pavel Bure Jr. has entered the Suvorov school.
— By the way, it was very difficult to do. The entrance exam to the Suvorov School has more than 10 people per place. But the son went through the entire training, passed all the exams and was accepted. The enlistment order, signed by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, was read to him personally by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces, Army General Oleg Salyukov.
– With your connections and money, your son could become a banker or a top athlete. Why did you choose the military path for him?
“It was the choice of the son himself, and we only supported him.” He said that from a young age he wanted to prepare to serve Russia,” Bure Sr. told .
Bure is a world champion (1990), silver medalist (1998) and bronze medalist (2002) in the NHL, he played for Vancouver, Florida and the Rangers.
