Andrey Nikolishin

Andrey Nikolishin is a Soviet and Russian ice hockey player who came to this sport from volleyball. The striker not only proved himself on the ice, but also became the world champion as part of the team, as well as the owner of the Olympic medal. Now the Honored Master of Sports of Russia works as an assistant coach and mentor.

Andrey Nikolishin was born on March 25, 1973 in Vorkuta. His father was exiled to this city during the Stalinist repressions. Here Nikolishin Sr. worked at the mine. For 25 long years he was not allowed to travel abroad, but his son did not know anything about this, since such news could harm his sports biography.

Andrey always believed that his homeland played a big role in his development as a person and a hockey player. In the freezing cold, not everyone dared to go out, let alone on the ice. First, you had to clean the site, and only then you could take up the puck. According to the hockey player, this is what helped to temper the character.

At the dawn of his career, Andrei was fond of volleyball. The young man had some success, therefore, when hockey came to the first place for the young man, coach Viktor Bogatyrev assured that he would not achieve success. However, Nikolishin was determined to become a hockey player.

Сыновья продолжили становление в хоккее на базе школы «Трактор». Ивану повезло представлять интересы команды в чемпионатах России 2009 и 2010 годов. Сейчас он выступает за клуб Everett Silvertips в WHL. Александр является игроком команды «Буран».
