Vladimir Tkachev

Hockey player Vladimir Tkachev is a representative of a new generation of players who think not only about this game for real men. There are few of his peers who know two foreign languages, read philosophers at their leisure and, with the dexterity of a diplomat, dodge uncomfortable questions.

Vladimir Aleksandrovich Tkachev was born in early October 1993 in Ukraine. His homeland is the regional center Dnipro, a city that has changed three names and is most commonly known as Dnipropetrovsk. The hockey player's father is Russian, his mother is from Belarus.

By the way, on the Web, next to the name of the striker, a patronymic or year of birth is often indicated, since the hockey player has a colleague-namesake Vladimir Eduardovich Tkachev. Tkachev-II also plays as a striker in the team "Salavat Yulaev". The guys even have the same birthday, only the "Salavat" is two years younger.

The future hockey player began to take the first steps in his sports biography in the Dnieper, at a sports school, where his father brought him at the age of 5. But at first the boy did not get any pleasure from classes - he often fell, could not skate. However, the glory of the idol Pavel Bure and the first successes changed the mood. In search of a prospect for their son, the family moved to Kiev. But, unfortunately, at that time hockey in the Ukrainian capital was going through far from the best times.

Playing for Kiev "Falcon", Tkachev came to tournaments in Russia. At the competitions in Yaroslavl, the talented boy was seen by the coach of the Kazan sports school, Alexander Dyumin, who brought up a galaxy of top-tier hockey players - Dinar Khamidullin, Sergei Shmelev, Albert Yarullin, Dmitry Arkhipov. At the same time, Vladimir and his mother were courted for a long time by representatives of the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv.

As a result, the prospects for studying in Yaroslavl and Kazan opened up for the talented boy. The choice fell on the capital of Tatarstan because of the better material conditions. At the age of 12, Volodya and his mother moved to Russia, while his sister and father remained in Kiev. Later, he will receive offers from the Yaroslavl teams more than once, but Tkachev will remain loyal to Kazan.

In Kazan, the teenager had more problems in terms of everyday life, since after the home environment he had to live in a room for six people. The school curriculum was doing well. In Kiev, the boy studied in one of the best gymnasiums and in a new place he could easily answer questions.

In Tatarstan, Vladimir Tkachev is considered a pupil of a local hockey school and a special merit is attributed to the head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov. The hockey player himself agrees with this, since he spent his adult life and path of formation with Ak Bars. The native club helped Vladimir to obtain Russian citizenship.

At the age of 17, Vladimir got into the draft of the Canadian Professional League. A young hockey player could get into Connor McDavid's team. But Ak Bars, in which the striker was already a member, did not let the player go. Today, at least 15 clubs of the National Hockey League show interest in Tkachev, but now the athlete himself is in no hurry to leave. And not only because of the Olympic season.

Hockey club agents predict a 2020 NHL lockout, traditionally linked to the challenge of signing a new collective bargaining agreement. As similar events in 2004 showed, 90% of professional players from overseas came to play in Russia. It turns out that in this way the KHL will receive an incentive for development.

Before joining one of the best teams in the KHL, Tkachev played for a member of the MHL - Kazan “Bars”, where he got in the 2009-2010 season. I didn't get points in the first meetings. But in the next season he scored 10 goals in 42 games, and scored the first goal in the first match of the season. The new season was on the rise: Vladimir participated in 60 matches, in which he scored 44 points, of which 26 - in goals. Bars took third place in the regular season.

The young hockey player was repeatedly invited to the junior national team of the country. In 2011 he won a bronze medal at the Junior World Championship.

The hockey player joined the Ak Bars club in the 2012-2013 season as a substitute, participated in 5 matches, but did not score points. The first scored puck had to wait until October of the next season. It happened at a meeting with Atlant. Not without Tkachev's participation, his team then won the match.

In the same season, the athlete briefly played for "Neftyanik", a club of the Higher Hockey League from Almetyevsk. Participated in 11 meetings, in which he did not score goals and scored only 4 points. Tkachev spent the next 3 seasons at Barça, earning points and improving his personal statistics. In the 2013-2014 season, Vladimir has already played 58 matches and has become a member of Ak Bars. Before that, he managed to win a bronze medal at the World Youth Championship.

The first winning goal in the statistics of a player is considered to be the puck thrown by him in October 2015 against the St. Petersburg SKA. Then Barça with the score 3: 1 got even with the rival for the loss in the fight for the Gagarin Cup. In the final of the Cup, the gates of the club from St. Petersburg were defended by Igor Shesterkin.

A month later, in the victorious game against Spartak at the home arena, the center forward scored his first hat-trick. The sixth match of the 2016 playoff series was especially remembered by fans and professionals. Barça beat their sworn friends from Salavat Yulaev with a crushing score 8: 0, Vladimir scored the winning goal and converted 3 of 4 shots. The 2015-2016 season for the hockey player is the best in terms of performance: in 55 games, Tkachev scored 29 points, scored 17 goals.

The striker scored the same number of goals and a total of 43 points (32 in the regular season and 11 in the playoffs) the next season, but at the same time went on the ice in 73 games. In addition, Tkachev set several personal records in the Kontinental Hockey League championships: he scored 15 goals, became the author of 4 victorious goals, won 438 face-offs, and he also became the best in the team in goals in equal compositions -11.

In terms of performance, Vladimir surpassed Canadian teammate Justin Azevedo and is not far from the achievements of Fedor Malykhin. The pupil of "Ak Bars" became one of the leaders of the team and a key player of the national team. According to the results of a brilliant game in the Eurotour, he was recognized as the best player in individual matches.

To questions about his personal life in an interview, Tkachev replies that he does not have time for this, the main thing is his career. The Weaver (as the striker was nicknamed in the team) spends his free time reading books, his favorite writer is Somerset Maugham, especially "The Moon and the Penny." On vacation he goes to Kiev, to his family or to the sea, he is fond of surfing. Dislikes nightclubs and games with computer consoles.

Tall (Vladimir's height is 183 cm), an athletic hockey player in life does not look as intimidating as on the court. The guy is described as a good-natured, cheerful and well-mannered person. An athlete never refuses an autograph or a joint photo.

By Tkachev's own admission, he does not have personal accounts on social networks. The young man is not interested in Instagram, as well as in the press. The club's press service publishes the personal opinion of the center forward about the game moments and answers to other questions on the official website of Ak Bars.

In May 2017, as part of the Russian national team, Tkachev took part in the World Championship for the first time and won bronze, although he added only two points to his arsenal.

A month later, Vladimir, along with his comrade Mikhail Sidorov, was included in the list of candidates for the national team for the 2017-2018 season.

The hockey player also participated in the Sochi Hockey Open preseason tournament. At the end of the year, the striker was invited to the Russian Olympic team.
