Vladimir Tarasenko

Hockey as a national game appeared in the USSR in the middle of the last century. In December 1946, the country's first ice hockey championship was held. Since then, Soviet and Russian hockey players have made great strides. Fans of the game still remember the 1972 match when our team defeated the Canadians with a score of 7: 3.

Now in Russia there are families for whom hockey is not just a favorite game, but a life's work, passed down to generations. These include the Tarasenko family. Its young representative, Vladimir, has achieved success on the Russian ice arena, and is now one of the best players in the NHL.

On December 13, 2017, the star of the national hockey league, Vladimir Tarasenko, turned 26. Now his sports career is on the rise: he signed an 8-year contract with the NHL St. Louis Blues team, received the title of the best player in the team, the fourth place among the league snipers and the 12th place in the NHL in goals scored. There is something to be proud of, but how much labor of Vladimir himself and his family was invested in this.

Volodya was born in 1991 in Yaroslavl. What the boy will do in life has been predetermined from childhood. Father Andrei Tarasenko is a Soviet hockey player, master of sports of international class, and also a coach of the HC Siberia. The grandfather - the full namesake of Vladimir Jr. - is also an athlete and head of the Chkalovets children's sports school.

The boy's mother, although she took breaks in her career twice to give birth to sons, also remained in sports - Julia is a master of sports in alpine skiing. By the way, the younger brother Valentin is also devoted to hockey, like all the men in this family. As soon as little Volodya got on the skates, he was handed a stick, and regular training entered the life of the son and grandson of hockey players.

From a young age, Volodya trained under the guidance of his father. To paraphrase the famous saying about the apple tree, we can say that “The puck flew not far from the club” - the boy quickly began to show results. The trainings took place in Novosibirsk - at the place of work of Andrey Tarasenko. Vladimir acted as a striker. Already in the youth team, he became the top scorer.

Nevertheless, not all "hockey doors" were thrown open for the young athlete who had already shown himself. He was not included in the junior team. Only in 2007 the young man was invited to the reserve of the Siberia club. Vladimir showed such results that by the end of the season the management of the HC recognized him as the best player in the team.

For the 2008-2009 season, the hockey player was already preparing as part of the main team. The first professional game of Vladimir Tarasenko took place on September 3, 2008. HC “Siberia” fought on the ice against “Dynamo” from Moscow. Less than three minutes after the start of the match, Tarasenko scored the first goal into the opponent's goal.

During the season, the athlete showed his best side. He participated in 38 games and scored a significant result - 10 points. Vladimir was nominated for the title “Best Newcomer of the Season”, but his colleague from HC “Metallurg” Ilya Proskuryakov passed him by two votes and “stole the award from under his nose”.

This did not bother Tarasenko, and he continued to work hard. The next season, the hockey player took part in 42 games and scored 24 points. The results of the games were outstanding, and in 2011, Vladimir was invited to participate in the Kontinental Hockey League All-Star Game.

In 2011, Tarasenko confidently entered the top three team leaders. And in 2012 he moved to play for SKA in St. Petersburg. Having played 15 games, at the beginning of the summer, Vladimir receives an offer that is difficult to refuse - to become an NHL player.

The childhood dream outweighed the desire to play in his native country, and Vladimir signs a 3-year contract with the St. Louis Blues team. Also attracted the athlete about the promised fee - $ 900,000.

The Americans made the right decision, betting on the Russian hockey player - in the very first game, Vladimir scored two goals against the team from Detroit. The results of the first season in the NHL were as follows: 19 points in 38 games and the title of best rookie.

In the 2014-15 seasons, Vladimir performs at a high professional level. In the game with the “Dallas Stars” Tarasenko for the first time makes a hat-trick - scores three goals in one match. Two months later in Los Angeles repeats the achievement. According to Sports Illustrated magazine, Tarasenko's goal in 2014, scored by the “Rangers”, was recognized as the NHL's goal of the year. 2015 was marked for the athlete with striking goals and debut in the NHL stars match.

In a series of endless training and sporting achievements, the hockey player's personal life faded into the background. But once Vladimir attended a modeling competition, where he noticed a stately girl - Yana Besedin. The couple began a relationship.

True, by that time Yana had already divorced her first husband, a businessman. The marriage lasted 9 years. After the breakup, the girl stayed with her son Mark. The ex-husband was generous and left Yana an elite apartment, an expensive foreign car and appointed a solid monthly financial aid.

Vladimir is not only a successful hockey player, but also a happy husband and father. At the height of the summer of 2015, Vladimir and Yana got married. The wedding took place in Russia near Novosibirsk, on the shore of the Ob Sea. The bride wore a long, light dress with bare shoulders and a thin black belt. The groom was wearing a dark formal suit and a snow-white shirt in harmony with his wife's dress. Soon after the wedding, in May 2016, the couple had their first-born son, Alexander.

Vladimir regularly uploads photos of the growing baby and his wife on his Instagram page, but which has already been subscribed by 250 thousand fans.

A hockey player's career is developing more than successfully. According to the NHL website, in 2015, the contract with Tarasenko was extended for another 8 years. The athlete's monetary remuneration for this period was estimated at $ 60 million.

Vladimir did not forget his native ice. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, he played for the Russian national team. In 2017, when it became known about the suspension of our athletes from participating in the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, Tarasenko, according to Sovetsky Sport, said:
