Sergey Shirokov

Sergey Shirokov is a prominent representative of modern Russian hockey, one of the most productive forwards in the KHL. By sports standards, he is already a serious, accomplished athlete, with a recognizable style and his own culture of play.

Sergey Shirokov was born in Ozyory near Moscow on March 10, 1986. The boy got acquainted with the hockey club at the age of 4 thanks to his father, who became his first coach. He also retrained Sergey from the left grip to the right one.

At the age of six, Seryozha went to a children's sports school at CSKA. For seven years, parents drove their son 120 kilometers every day to classes with Valery Pavlovich Stelmakh. In the group, all the guys were a year older than Sergei. After the family moved to Moscow, Shirokov Jr. studied at the CSKA sports boarding school.

Since 2002, the promising guy started playing in the CSKA double and three years later made his debut in the Super League. In 2006, Shirokov got into the NHL draft, where he left three years later under a contract with the Vancouver Canucks. The amount of the agreement was $ 2.7 million, specifically the player was entitled to $ 875 thousand per season.

Before that, Sergei had a conflict with CSKA: the striker refused to renew his contract with his home club, explaining this by a change in coaching staff and refusal to exchange him for another team.

According to journalists, Shirokov asked for a new contract amount, higher than the previous one, and the club seemed to meet halfway. However, the athlete still decided to make his way to the best league in the world. Later, returning home, the hockey player will say that the journalists inflated the elephant out of the fly out of the situation at that time.

Shirokov's overseas career did not work out, although at first in the press the player was compared with Pavel Bure. In the first year, the hockey player scored nothing and spent the rest of the season at the Manitoba farm club. And then the striker turned around - he scored 115 points in 172 matches. At home, during this time, Denis Parshin, with whom Sergei went on strike at CSKA, became the best player in the club.

In the summer of 2011, Vancouver set out to sell the frustrated striker to the Florida Panthers. However, he chose to return to his homeland and signed a three-year contract with CSKA. Sergei himself believes that his stay in the NHL was useful: having played on smaller grounds, the short (player's height - 178 cm) flank striker added to the power struggle, and in general he got used to a different mentality, way of life, and culture.

Upon returning to CSKA, the fans saw the new, transformed NHL “kitchen” Shirokov. In the 2011-2012 season, the forward broke his own performance record and won recognition as one of the strongest players in the club. With 121 points in 189 games for the army team, Sergei was compared only to "Mister Utility" Alexander Radulov.

Then John Tarchetti took the helm of the team. The foreign specialist parted with many of the fan favorites. In Shirokov, the American coach did not see a leader. The formerly active player stopped getting enough playing time and soon moved to Avangard Omsk under the leadership of Milos Riha. The only consolation was that the striker had been included in the national team before the exchange.

As part of Avangard, Sergey received the status of one of the best players in the Kontinental Hockey League, played 104 games, scoring 40 goals and scoring 77 points. At one time, fans even had fears that the perked up hockey player would try to storm the NHL grounds again. The hockey player played for the club until December 2015, during which time he managed to become the world champion and the silver medalist of the championship twice.

In the middle of the 2015-2016 season, despite the impressive statistics and the fact that the contract provided for a four-year relationship, Omsk residents exchanged with the SKA hockey club. Sergei Shirokov signed a contract until April 2018 and went to St. Petersburg in exchange for Anton Burdasov and Peter Khokhryakov. The Omsk press on the fact of the pet's departure erupted with angry articles, in the mildest case, calling the exchange ambiguous.

For the remaining half of the season, the striker participated in 17 red-blue games and scored 10 points. In the playoff series, he participated in 15 meetings, in which he scored 2 goals. During the 2016-2017 season, Sergei went on the ice in 42 regular season games, scored 11 goals and scored 23 points. Detailed statistics can be found on the official SKA website.

As soon as it became known that NHL players were banned from participating in the Olympics in Korea, Shirokov had a chance to get into the Russian Olympic team. The statistics of the meetings he held allowed the hockey player, along with Vyacheslav Voinov, Pavel Datsyuk and Ilya Kovalchuk, to get into the extended list of candidates.

With his wife Yulia Shirokov he studied at the same school. Childhood friendship grew into a romantic feeling. The girl supported her beloved in the difficult Canadian period of his biography - she taught English, fed with dishes of Russian cuisine.

Sergey made an offer in Japanese Disneyland during his vacation. The wedding was planned to be played even before the departure, but the celebration was organized only after the triumphant return of the hockey player from Helsinki with the gold medal of the world champion.

The Shirokov family regularly hits the tops of the strongest sports marriages, and Julia - the most beautiful wives of Russian athletes. The wife is a lucky talisman for Sergei: the matches that she attends, as a rule, end in favor of his team. The hockey player spends weekends with relatives, even his further career depends on how much hockey will affect the family.

The striker shares his happy moments from the life of a family in which two sons are growing up on Instagram. By his own admission, he uses a computer only to find out the news, which is why photos are updated so rarely. In his spare time, Sergei watches football matches, is friends with the namesake Roman Shirokov, a former Zenit and CSKA player.

In the 2017-2018 season, the SKA club, for which Sergey Shirokov plays, won a record 20 consecutive victories in the matches of the Kontinental Hockey League regular season. In addition, the team's assets include the Opening Cup and the Continental Cup.

In January 2018, the Russian Ice Hockey Federation included Sergey and 15 other teammates in the official composition of the national team, which is going to the Olympics in Korean Pyeongchang.
