Hockey player Klim Kostin said that after moving to the USA, he shed a lot of tears and wanted to leave
Russian hockey player of the Detroit Red Wings National Hockey League (NHL) club Klim Kostin spoke about the problems of adaptation in the USA. His words are quoted by Sports.ru.
The athlete said that at first the move had a wow effect, but then he wanted to go back. “Gray days have arrived. Without knowing the language, he was depressed, shed a lot of tears. I think everyone needs to go through this, so the character was tempered, ”he shared. Kostin noted that he was saved by the fact that after a while his father moved in with him.
The hockey player shared that he was also embarrassed that in the United States everyone was smiling and being polite. “It was annoying at first – I put on headphones, put my head down and ran away. Now I understand how it looks from the outside. I would have thought that the guy had something wrong with his head, ”he said and added that now he can talk to someone on the street first.
Kostin began performing in the US in 2017. In the NHL, he played for the St. Louis Blues and Edmonton Oilers, in the American Hockey League for the San Antonio Rampage, Springfield Thunderbirds and Bakersfield Condors. On July 1, 2023, the Russian signed a contract with the Detroit Red Wings as a free agent.
