“Artem Anisimov was always visible in his teams” – Pliouchchev

Former coach of the Russian national team Vladimir Plyushchev told that the world champion who completed his career as a hockey player Artem Anissimov was always visible in his teams.

Anisimov announced his retirement on Friday. The last club of the 36-year-old forward’s career was the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack, which terminated the Russian’s tryout contract in February.

— Anisimov always showed great promise, he was visible in his teams. In modern hockey, 36 is not a critical age, but he made that decision. I wish him success in his new life, I am sure that he will remain in hockey and will be useful, ”Plyushchev told .

Anisimov was selected by the New York Rangers in the second round, 54th overall, in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. In the NHL, the Russian also played for the Columbus Blue Jackets, Chicago Blackhawks and Ottawa Senators, and scored 376 points (180+196) in 771 regular season games.

In Russia, Anisimov played for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl and became a 2014 world champion as part of the Russian national team.
