Three-time world champion Alexei Tereshchenko predicted the disappearance of the Russians from the NHL

Three-time world champion Alexei Tereshchenko spoke about the prospects of the Russians in the National Hockey League (NHL). This is reported by Legalbet.

Tereshchenko predicted the disappearance of Russian hockey players from North America. “We are moving towards this, that soon our players will not be in the NHL. There is simply no education in our schools. Units are obtained from there, but this is not enough for progress. There are no personnel and training,” he said.

The former hockey player added that Russia lacks average players who can do everything on the court. “Alexander Ovechkin is a goalscorer, but not a versatile player, let’s be honest. Look how many diverse players Canadians have,” Tereshchenko emphasized.

Tereshchenko never played in the NHL, in addition to three victories at the world championships as part of the Russian team, he won the Gagarin Cup with Ak Bars. The striker retired in 2020.
