In his hometown, hockey was the most popular sport, so the boy did not choose, and at the age of 6 he went to the Lada hockey school to join the team of the famous coach Nikolai Nikolaev. He was able to consider in him the potential for sports achievements. Thanks to Nikolaev, Koshechkin's biography as a hockey player began.

After completing his studies at Lada, the hockey player was sent for an internship to the Major League in the small town of Kirovo-Chepetsk, where he showed good results for a young goalkeeper. After that, Vasily ended up in Almetyevsk in the "Neftyanik" hockey club, for which he played 14 matches.

In 2003, Koshechkin returned to Tolyatti. During the first 2 seasons of the Super League, the goalkeeper played only 13 matches, the main squad was a foreign player. In 2005-2006, the goalkeeper was released on the ice to prove himself, and he succeeded. Despite the absence of serious victories for Lada, other clubs noticed him. For the first time he signed a contract with the Kazan "Ak Bars". However, there he showed himself not from the best side, having missed 43 goals in his own goal, and returned to his native club.

In the 2009/2010 season, Koshechkin signed a contract with Metallurg. And in the summer of 2010 he became a member of the Severstal Cherepovets club, where after 38 matches the fans gave him the title of the best player. Having played 2 more seasons in this club, the hockey player returned to the Magnitogorsk team, reached the KHL playoff final with it three times, and also took the Gagarin Cup 2 times.
