Darius Kasparaitis

At the end of January 2020, the famous hockey player Darius Kasparaitis gave several interviews to Russian sports publications at once, where he expressed the opinion that his colleague Alexander Ovechkin, who has no tendency to reduce performance, could surpass Wayne Gretzky's record for goals in the NHL. He also laughed at the broadcast of Match TV, when, instead of the final of this year's Youth World Cup, the channel showed the decisive victory match of 2011.

The star of the most male sport came to this world in mid-October 1972, on the 16th, in one of the cities of Lithuania - Elektrenai. A celebrity is always willing to meet journalists and tries to pamper the media representatives with details of their personal life and biography.

From the memoirs of Daryus, it is known that when he was only a year old, he independently climbed over the fence of the bed and came to his mother in the kitchen. The woman was shocked. In due time, the baby was taken to kindergarten, but he constantly left the institution for preschool children and, bypassing the fence, ran home. At the lyceum in his native country, the teenager studied until the 8th grade, where only geometry was difficult, and graduated from it with a single C.

At the age of 14, after training with Alexei Nikiforov, the young man moved to Russia to play his favorite hockey at a higher level. In the new place, everything turned out to be different: the guy who got into the Dynamo sports school, frankly “scored” on all subjects, except for physical education, and loved to set the table. Of course, the first time without parents was not easy, but the legendary defender believes that this was beneficial and contributed to a quick maturation.

Loneliness pushed the athlete to his first marriage soon - the guy just moved to the USA and practically did not know anyone. Therefore, in order to find peace in his soul and feel comfortable, he called his girlfriend Irina in marriage. Subsequently, the hockey player repeatedly repeated that there was no need to rush into this, because the bride and groom were still children.

Soon, joyful changes began in the personal life of the Lithuanian - the first-born, daughter Elizabeth (Elizabeth), was born, and he considers this day one of the happiest. Unfortunately, the birth of a child did not seal the relationship between the spouses, and they decided to divorce, remaining friends.

The meeting with the future second wife took place in a Japanese bar in 2000, and a chance acquaintance gradually developed into mutual feelings. At first, the lovers had to be at a distance from each other, because Ingela lived in Vancouver, and Darius lived in Pittsburgh, but they withstood the difficulties and got married with honor.

Despite the fact that a man and a woman understood each other perfectly and dreamed of never parting, fate made its own adjustments, and Kasparaitis married for the third time. The chosen one was the Swedish basketball player Lisa Carroll, who gave her beloved five children - twin girls Liv and Lilly and the sons of Marley, Miles and Parker, whose photographs filled the whole of his father's Instagram.

Darius first appeared on the ice with Moscow Dynamo at the age of 16, in the 1988/1989 season, and then won the CIS championship with him in 1992. In the same year in the NHL draft in Montreal he was "got" by the American HC New York Islanders.

The talented and daring newcomer, who later became famous for his aggressive style of play and fights, was talked about after one of the matches of the 1992/1993 season against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The guy attracted attention by knocking superstar Mario Lemieux down after being shoved in the back.

Soon, the hockey player developed a signature power technique called the mill, which Wayne Douglas Gretzky, Eric Brian Lindros, Jaromir Jagr, Pavel Bure and others experienced more than once. In particular, it was thanks to him that the Lithuanian, with the light hand of Scott Stevens, turned into Kasper - an unfriendly ghost.

The athlete was among the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1996 and stayed there until the beginning of the 2000s. After staying briefly at the Colorado Avalanche, he found himself at the New York Rangers and the Hartford Wolf Pack. As for the performances for the Russian teams, at the end of his career in the National Hockey League, Darius settled in the St. Petersburg SKA, before that he “served” in the Kazan “Ak Bars”.

After a five-year break, Kasparaitis got into Hockey Punks, and then into the most titled and strongest club in his native Lithuania Energia and played for the Lithuanian national team at the 2018 World Cup.

Behind his shoulders Darius (height 180 cm with a weight of 98 kg) - four times participation in the Olympic Games, and three times he came from there not empty-handed (or rather, neck) and collected the entire set of medals. In 1992 he received an award of the highest standard in Albertville, six years later he took away silver from Nagano, and then bronze from Salt Lake City. In 2006, the Russian national team, where the defender was staying, stopped one step away from 3rd place.

The ice hockey legend, after finishing his career, plunged headlong into the development of the children's clothing brand LIVLY, named after his twin daughters. And this is far from the first own business of Kasparaitis: a celebrity tried to build residential complexes in Miami.

However, there are no former hockey players, and the 1992 Olympic champion, who appeared in the cult “Brother-2” by Alexei Balabanov, is a vivid proof of this.

Darius Vladovich actively discusses issues from the world of sports (for example, the extension of Andrey Vasilevsky's contract with Tampa Bay Lightning), shares his authoritative opinion with journalists (named Tampa Bay, Boston and "Washington Capitals") and never ceases to amaze them. For example, at the beginning of 2020, a publication appeared in the media, where a man explained the reason for his transition to a vegan diet.
