Former Admiral hockey player James Wisniewski called the Russians “complete alcoholics”
Former hockey player of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) club “Admiral” American James Wisniewski spoke about the time spent in Russia. His words are quoted by the YouTube channel The Cam & Strick Podcast.
The athlete called the Russians “complete alcoholics.” “They don’t know how to drink a little, for company, but they get drunk to hell. And they rarely give days off, because otherwise everyone will go into hard drinking for several days. No one at the club will know where their players are,” Wisniewski said.
Wisniewski played 16 KHL games for Admiral. He signed a contract with the club for ten weeks in the 2016/2017 season. Previously, the American also played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Chicago Blackhawks, Anaheim Ducks, New York Islanders, Montreal Canadiens, Columbus Blue Jackets and Carolina Hurricanes.
On February 22, Admiral’s Canadian defender Colby Williams called the difference between the Russian and American mentality. “Russian people are honest. Here they will immediately say if you don’t like something, there will be no artificial smiles, ”said the hockey player. He emphasized that this makes him work and move forward, as in North America they try to be too politically correct in hockey.
