Vadim Shipachev

Vadim Shipachev is a Russian hockey player, center forward. He began his hockey career at the Severstal club. Since 2013 he has been playing for SKA St. Petersburg. Member of the Russian national ice hockey team.

Vadim Alexandrovich Shipachev was born on March 12, 1987 in Cherepovets. He got into hockey by accident. Little Vadim always wanted to go in for sports professionally, but it didn't matter to him exactly which one. He liked both football and hockey. Soon he found out that his friend decided to sign up for the hockey section, and Vadim went with him for the company.

At that time, the boy was already 8 years old. And, as you know, most eminent hockey players took to the ice much earlier. Vadim was imbued with hockey, although at first it was extremely difficult to combine school and section. The ice arena was located far from home, in order to be in time for training by 7 in the morning, Vadim had to travel for an hour by bus.

Not all the guys selected for the section could stand such a tight schedule, but Vadim was initially distinguished for his diligence and diligence, and at the age of 11 Shipachev began training with Vyacheslav Dubrovin, the coach of the Severstal hockey school. Until the age of 14, the boy was a protector. But soon Dubrovin noticed that it was extremely difficult for the puny Shipachev to hold off the attacks of more powerful hockey players. Therefore, soon Vadim became a striker, where he showed all his abilities and talents.

In 2005 Dubrovin appointed Shipachev to the Severstal team. In his native Cherepovets club, Vadim began his professional hockey career. In 2006 he moved to Belgorod, where he played until 2008.

Since 2009, Shipachev returned to Severstal, becoming the team's top scorer. The hockey player was also named the best player of the Cherepovets club according to the results of the audience vote in 2010. In the next season, Vadim scored 15 goals. After such a success, the athlete was invited to the Russian national team. In 2012, Vadim took part in the KHL All-Star Game.

In 2013, Severstal and St. Petersburg SKA made an exchange, in which Vadim was obliged to move to SKA. Of course, such a change only made the talented hockey player happy. The hockey club "SKA" is one of the most successful clubs in Russia. By the way, Vadim went to the new team together with his teammates - Maxim Chudinov, Evgeny Ketov and Yuri Alexandrov.

In SKA, Shipachev gained real popularity. As part of the team, Vadim managed to win two Yuri Gagarin Cups. In the 2015/2016 season, he became the best assistant of the season. In May 2017, the hockey player decided to try his hand at the NHL, signed a two-year contract with Vegas Golden Knights for $ 9 million.

As a result, Vadim played three matches with this team, scoring only one goal. The Vegas coach would release the athlete on the field infrequently and for a maximum of 10 minutes. They put not in the first link, but in the fourth. And at the end of October Shipachev was sent to play for the team's farm club, the athlete refused, after which he was removed from subsequent games. In November, Vegas Golden Knights officially confirmed that the contract with Shipachev had been terminated.

Soon the hockey player returned to St. Petersburg, where SKA immediately offered to return to his native team. Soon, Shipachev signed a contract with the SKA hockey club in the amount of 30 million rubles. According to Express Gazeta, before leaving for the United States, SKA paid Vadim 150 million rubles a year. But in an interview, the hockey player hastened to inform reporters that now money is not the main thing for him.

Vadim Shipachev is married. I met my wife Ekaterina on the Odnoklassniki social network. Having agreed to a date with Vadim, the girl was not aware that he was a hockey player. Like Vadim, Katya is from Cherepovets. At that time, Shipachev played for Severstal, and Katya studied at the university as an economist and worked in the personnel department at the plant.

Before marriage, the couple met for 2 years. Vadim often left, Katya waited. The girl's mother assured her daughter that the athletes in every city where the training camps were held had a new girl. But, fortunately, Vadim already then had serious intentions in relation to Katya. The couple are raising two daughters - Polina and Christina. The family lives in St. Petersburg. In their native Cherepovets, the Shipachevs have a spacious house, where they try to leave every summer.

Katya tries not to miss the games in which her husband participates. By the way, having decided to play for Vegas Golden Knights, he immediately moved to the States with his family. True, this decision caused discontent among fans. In their opinion, at first Vadim had to gain a foothold in the NHL, and his wife Katya should have remained in Russia, and not distract him from work.

According to Ekaterina, this remark is devoid of logic, because in St. Petersburg, when he played for SKA, she did not interfere with him at all, but in the USA, it turns out, she got in the way. Of course, this is not the case. Shipachev himself did not comment on the attacks from the fans. Vadim is not an active user of social networks. He has a closed account on Instagram, personal photos of the hockey player are available only to subscribers.

In May 2017, the six best hockey players of the 2016/2017 season were announced on the official KHL Twitter page. Of course, Vadim Shipachev was included in this number. SKA goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin, Metallurg players Sergei Mozyakin, Viktor Antipin and Yan Kovar, as well as ex-Vityaz defender Yakub Yerzhabek also joined this “symbolic” team.

Returning from America in November 2017, Vadim again began to play for the St. Petersburg team SKA. The Russian forward is glad that he has the opportunity to continue playing for SKA.

As Vadim himself says, while it is too early to think about extending the contract, now the main thing for him is to play well in hockey. Shipachev is in perfect sports form - with a height of 185 cm, the weight of a hockey player is 86 kg. On the field, he is agile, creative and quick.

By the way, in the game with Traktor, Shipachev managed to score the 500th point. As a result, he played 542 matches in the KHL. Detailed statistics of Shipachev can be viewed on the official website of the hockey club "SKA".
