Nikita Gusev

Russian hockey player Nikita Gusev is called the KHL record holder, in whose piggy bank a record number of goals scored and points scored in the Valery Kharlamov Cup. Sports commentators and fans of the athlete add to the positive characteristic the creativity and excellent technique of Gusev's playing, the amazing speed and flexibility with which he eludes opponents.

And the forward of St. Petersburg SKA became famous for his radiant smile, which does not leave his face even in tense moments of the match. Silver medalist of the youth World Cup in 2012 and bronze medalist of the World Ice Hockey Championship in 2017, and in 2018 - the Olympic champion.

The future SKA striker was born in the capital of Russia in 1992. Shortly before its appearance, the Umka ice palace opened in the Rechnoy Vokzal metro area. The Gusev family lived nearby. 7-year-old Nikita was taken to a skating rink to channel the energetic boy into a safe direction.

At first, young Gusev learned to stay on the ice in the figure skating section, but when he saw his peers driving the puck, he caught fire with hockey. Parents heeded the request of their son and transferred to the hockey club "Polar Bears".

Nikita's first coach, Gennady Kurdin, recruited the team in the fall, and Gusev was brought in on New Year's Eve. The mentor agreed to look at the newcomer and immediately realized that a real “gamer” had come to him - a nimble, with a lightning-fast reaction, gambling. On skates Gusev was confident - the training in the figure skating section affected.

Later Nikita admitted that the first coach gave him an excellent base, taught him everything. But the main thing - he taught him to "smart" hockey, where ingenuity and tactical calculation became decisive, and not muscles and height (by "hockey" standards, the athlete is not tall - 178 cm with a weight of 76 kg).

Two Nikita met at Polar Bears - Gusev and Kucherov, whose careers are now at their peak. Kurdin's pupils helped the club win the Russian championship twice, and at first the skeptics asked the coach why he needed short and skinny boys. Nikita Gusev quickly caught up and surpassed his peers, compensating for the lack of growth with his mind.

Bright pages in the sports biography of Nikita Gusev appeared in 2009, when he became a member of the Moscow MHL club "Red Army". In his debut season, the hockey player scored 60 points, having played 53 matches at the rink. With the team, Gusev won the prestigious trophy - the Kharlamov Cup and recognition as the top scorer of the tournament. They started talking about Nikita as the most valuable player in the playoffs and a sniper.

In 2011, Nikita Gusev, as part of the club, won the second Valery Kharlamov Cup and the prize as the most valuable player in the playoffs. As a result of 16 matches, he scored 17 goals against the opponent and brought the Red Army 27 points.

The 2010/2011 season for the striker, which began in the MHL, ended with his debut in the KHL with CSKA. In the match with the team "Ugra" from Khanty-Mansiysk Gusev threw the winning goal into the opponent's goal. A year later, he became a hockey player for the Khabarovsk club Amur, then for 2 seasons (since 2013) he fought for Ugra.

In the fall of 2015, the St. Petersburg ice hockey club SKA, having paid monetary compensation to the Khanty-Mansiysk, introduced Nikita Gusev to the club, replacing the departed striker Artemy Panarin. The hockey player, who dreamed of a big team, got used to it in the first season and pleased the mentors with a brilliant game.

At the KHL All-Star Game in the same year, Nikita presented hockey fans with a bullet that impressed with his "jewelry" technicality. This penalty was recognized as the most beautiful in the KHL games. With the SKA team, Nikita Gusev noted in the Eurotour, defeating the Czech hockey players, and in 2017 the KHL striker SKA joined the national hockey team.

The stars of the hockey sniper were also noticed by the Americans. In the 2012 NHL draft, the Muscovite was chosen by the Tampa Bay Lightning from Florida in the 7th round, but the player was not tempted by the proposed rookie contract and did not leave the army. Nikita Gusev does not regret that he refused: he is sure that he will have time to appear in the NHL.

Tampa general manager Steve Yizerman transferred the rights to Gusev to the NHL hockey club Vegas from Nevada. A player with phenomenal technique and masterpiece shootouts is expected overseas, but the Russian striker is in no hurry to leave his native land: Nikita Gusev has a contract with the St. Petersburg club "army men" until the end of the 2018/2019 season.

2017 has become an eventful year for the hockey player. At the World Championships in Paris and Cologne, he won bronze, and as part of the army team he won the Gagarin Cup and the national championship.

Gusev is married. Judging by the photos available on the Web, the wedding of Nikita and his chosen one Marina was modest. In the summer of 2017, Marina Guseva gave birth to a daughter, whom the couple named Veronica. Congratulations on the addition to the young family appeared on the official website of the army team. Fans of the star striker joined in the congratulations.

The athlete does not have pages on Instagram and Twitter, he has not registered accounts in social networks, preferring live communication. And the SKA star has no time for correspondence on the Internet. The player gives out the interview reluctantly.

He also does not like to spread about his personal life. For example, absolutely nothing is known about her spouse Marina: what did she do before meeting a hockey player, who is she by education, where is she from. The girl tries not to miss matches with her husband and supports him in everything.

At the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, the Russian national team became the champion of the Games. Nikita Gusev is the real hero of the final of the Russia-Germany match. When there were 55 seconds left until the end of the game, and the Germans were leading with a score of 2-3, Nikita Gusev saved the national team from defeat with one throw, taking it into overtime. Already in extra time, the Russians took advantage of the situation and scored the decisive goal, the author of which was Kirill Kaprizov. The Russian national team won the title of the Olympic champion for the first time in the last 26 years.

In May 2018, the Ice Hockey World Championship was held in Denmark. True, the forward of the Russian national team Nikita Gusev missed the first matches due to injury. He joined the team a little later. One way or another, the national team failed to enter the top three. This time, the hockey players were left without medals.

In 2018, Nikita tried himself in the role of an actor. Real SKA hockey players took part in the final, sixth, season of the popular TV series Molodezhka. According to the plot, the "army men" become rivals of the "Bears" team. When Nikita was asked about his cinematic debut, he said that he was not worried at all on the set. I just listened carefully to the words of the director and followed his instructions. He also noted that he considers the name of the team "Bears" to be symbolic, because once his career began with the club "White Bears".

At the moment, Vegas owns the rights to Nikita Gusev in the NHL, but he has a contract with SKA until 2019. NHL managers do not hide that they are looking forward to a talented athlete overseas, but the "army" club will do everything possible to keep their best player from moving to the NHL.

Many experts believe that Gusev is obliged to try his hand at the strongest league in the world; they do not see any sense in further delaying the move. And the hockey player himself has repeatedly expressed his desire to play in the NHL. But Nikita approaches such a fateful decision with a "cold" head. In 2017, he said in an interview that he understands that if he comes to the NHL in 2018, he will receive a rookie contract. And if he does this in 2019, that is, after he turns 28, he will be able to sign a more lucrative contract and, perhaps, even choose the club himself.

At the same time, hockey agents Yuri Nikolaev and Alexander Chernykh in September 2018 said that, in comparison with the last season, the salaries of hockey players in the KHL fell by 30%, and this is a rather big “loss”. They predict that not only Gusev will leave Russia at the end of the 2018/2019 season. And there is no doubt that Nikita will not remain in SKA.

At the end of August, Gusev took part in a charity hockey match as part of the "From a Pure Heart" campaign. Pavel Datsyuk, Evgeny Malkin, Ilya Kovalchuk, Alexander Radulov, as well as the president of the St. Petersburg SKA Gennady Timchenko and vice-president of the hockey club Roman Rotenberg, joined the red team along with Nikita. Their "blue" rivals were the Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Pavel Kolobkov, the first vice-president of the Moscow "Spartak" Alexey Zhamnov and the Olympic champions Ivan Telegin, Sergey Kalinin, Sergey Andronov.

Despite the bright game and an impressive score of 10: 8 in favor of the “red”, the winners in this confrontation were the children who are in the department of oncology, hematology and chemotherapy of the Tula hospital. 20 million rubles received from this charity match were transferred to him for treatment.
