KHL history’s top scorer, former Metallurg Magnitogorsk forward Sergei Mozyakin told that he turned down the offer to play in the amateur league because of the constant flights to Moscow.
In July, the “Legendary Match of Sergei Mozyakin” took place in Magnitogorsk, which became the official end of the hockey player’s professional career.
— Have you thought about playing in the Media Hockey League? Or another amateur league?
— There were some conversations, different offers. But I had to constantly fly and play in Moscow, at the moment it does not suit me, so I refused for now. But in the future, anything can happen, “Moziakin told the correspondent.
Mozyakin is a two-time Gagarin Cup winner with Magnitogorsk, an Olympic champion and a two-time world champion. He has 928 points (419 goals and 509 assists) in 842 KHL regular season and playoff games.
