They say that the chance of winning the lottery is several hundred times higher than the chance of becoming a hockey star. But at the same time, this rule does not in any way cancel the enviable obstinacy and excitement with which many parents young hockey players sacrifice almost everything in order to cling to that perhaps the only chance that can fall in great sport exactly to his child. There are so many tricks and tricks that do not go into action, ranging from a hidden confrontation with accusing other people's children of the uncleanness of achieving results, and ending with actions that are much aggravating, which include rewritten metrics, bribes, slander with the change of an unwanted coach. Unfortunately, the talent of someone else's player is always viewed under the prism of distrust and insincerity, especially when the young talent plays in the team a year older and is not just an extra, but a leading player in it.

How, then, to react if a child acts in a team three ages ahead, I think the reaction remains the same, only three times more stable and distrustful. This season, the full program went to the forward of the Khabarovsk hockey school Matvey Gridin, a player born in 2006, who alternates successful performances for 2003, with no less successful games for 2004. Discarding all the prerequisites and accusations towards the player, I want to dwell on his game aspects, namely, on how he stands out on the court. These are not at all impressive dimensions, on the contrary, the player himself is rather puny and fledgling, but at the same time nimble, with good motor skills and skating training... As practice shows, the presence of “ personal trainer", Which is his own father who played hockey or is related to hockey. One shouldn't look far for an example, here are just a couple of surnames Alexander Semin, Vladimir Tarasenko, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Nail Yakupov, Vladislav Namestnikov, Alexander Khokhlachev and many others. Matvey was lucky with his “personal mentor”, his father is one of the coaches of the Amur team born in 2003, in which the player becomes. It will be interesting in the future to observe the success of Matvey, how justified the player's abrupt start will be. Who knows, maybe now in Khabarovsk is being born future star, no less bright than a fellow countryman and brother in the role of Alexander Mogilny. But all this will show time, only it will be able to give an accurate assessment of the abilities and capabilities of a hockey player, and may someday provide a chance to play in adult hockey, which is less common than winning the lottery.

This season, the classic right-grip Ivan Miroshnichenko, a pupil of the Ussuriysk hockey school, made a real splash with his appearance in the Spartak camp. His game was dominant on the court, excellent statistics in the Moscow Mayor's Cup among players born in 2004 and in all tournaments in which he took part. Excellent motor skills, technique, vision of the court and a punching click, coupled with super effective play, immediately gave birth to fantasies and speculations on the part of a large group of parents who began to suspect that something was wrong in such a productive and leadership game. Unfortunately, in Russia talent can be measured by the number of rumors and gossip around it, the brighter it is, the more there are. Valery Nichushkin and Mikhail Grigorenko did not escape this fate. But where are the facts? And the facts are that these hockey players have already tasted the taste of the NHL, and their opponents scribbling libels have remained in the archives of children's forums or have sunk into obscurity.

I think that for Ivan Miroshnichenko, all this hockey hype will only add strength and set him in a positive mood, in order to prove to all his well-wishers that he is formed from a strong material that does not bend or break. Here is one of the segments of the game of young talent - final match with the team "Rus" at the tournament "Hello sport school". I think that the game # 63 of the red-and-white players does not go unnoticed.

The next season Ivan is likely to spend in the Vityaz team, born in 2004, with which he played at national tournaments and at the third stage of the Moscow Mayor's Cup. On my own behalf, I wish the player not to be satisfied with what has already been achieved and in the future to maintain the bar of high results.

Hockey breathes with attack, an exhilarating exhalation of rapid combinations and an inhalation of dizzying feints that merge into the inimitable breath of hockey.

If we carry out the ranking of the best percussion combinations of 2003, then from my point of view at the moment it will look like this.

19. Matvey Andreev - Mikhail Bolshakov - Ilya Baklanov (Severstal)

If this topic concerned personalities, not attack triplets, then of course I would note the aggressive and targeted play of striker Ivan Bochkov as part of Severstal (this topic will certainly be touched upon in the future, in the publication of the top 50 best players 2003 year of birth). In terms of triplets, Mikhail Bolshakov's striking combination is one of the strongest in the championship of St. Petersburg. The guys demonstrate good teamwork, teamwork, a sense of partner's elbows. No matter how the match unfolds, nominally the first five of Severstal will always look for ways to score the opponent's goal, without slowing down or losing hands from failures.

18. Vadim Fattakhov - Mikhail Balashov - Kirill Monakhov (Diesel)

How many in recent times talented guys left Penza, but all the same, the team remains afloat, fights and shows a fairly competitive game in the championship of the Volga region. So after the transfer of central striker Ilya Ivantsov to "Rus", and Oleg Sedantsov to "Ak Bars", a new shock combination was formed. To say that the guys do not give a result means to say nothing. The team's game is largely built on their mutual understanding and relationship on the court. They rarely remain without scored goals, regardless of the strength of the opponent, but they will bring their 1-2 goals to the wrong goal.

17.Alexander Volkov - Kirill Dolzhenkov - Egor Sharov (Spartak)

I think that these three players are a tasty morsel for many strong metropolitan teams of this age. Get these guys out of Spartak, and the red-and-white team will get very tight with abandoned washers. This season, Spartak is not doing well, what can be judged by the last place in standings, but, nevertheless, the game of the three guys remains at the level. Yes, they may not act as efficiently as they did last season, but they are the best in the squad in terms of their creativity, transferring the game to a foreign zone and scoring chances per match. In mid-April Kazan will host the final of the Russian championship among club teams, so that one of the capital's clubs (currently "Rus" and "Dynamo") is quite possible to strengthen its composition with the above-named three players at the Russian championship. Unless, of course, such an opportunity is stipulated in the competition regulations.

16. Innokenty Rybin - Gayaz Sharafutdinov - Pavel Avdeev (HC Dmitrov)

Recently, Dmitrov began to give a stream of good-quality hockey players of all ages. 2003 was no exception, in which a rather interesting and productive combination of players was formed. The guys do a lot of work on the site, including when playing in unequal compositions. I would like to point out the pass culture inherent in this troika, leadership qualities, as well as specifications players who allow them to solve many primary tasks in the game.

15. Semyon Rubtsov - Mark Andreev - Nikita Skoropad (Salavat Yulaev)

It would seem that after one of the leaders of the offensive line of the team Stanislav Yarovoy left for Vityaz Podolsk, it will be very difficult for the team to count on anything serious in the championship of the Ural Federal District in the coming season, but here, as in an epic tale, to replace one severed head, three new ones. At the same time, the teamwork of the guys and their focus on the goal can only be envied in an amicable way. I would like to highlight the game of central striker Mark Andreev, who does not differ in size, but stands out for his strong individual and team play. This is the fundamental player of the team who turns on his partners with his game and does not allow them to play half-heartedly. He is matched by his teammates in the attacking troika, very diligent and extraordinary guys who feel each other well and fight in every episode of the game to the end. At this point in time, "Salavat Yulaev" takes third place in the championship of the Ural Federal District, and this is largely the merit of the team's first strike three.

14. Dmitry Nazarov - Zakhar Mits - Ilya Nazarov (Russia)

No offense to Zakhar, who is distinguished by his maneuverability, vision of the site and tact of the game, but for greater constructiveness and integrity, this trio lacks a third Nazarov. The brothers have their own way of playing, and from my point of view, they have tremendous potential, which needs recharge from a player who is similar in mentality to them. The brothers are strong individually, focused on dribbling and throwing, play in a power manner, very tenacious and dynamic. Another would be to correct the implementation of scoring chances.

13. Rinat Galeev - Danila Kurkov - Riyaz Galiev (Oilman.A)

Slowly but surely, the guys are plowing their way to the finals of the Russian championship among club teams. Taking into account the fact that Ak Bars automatically, as the host of the tournament, has already ensured its presence in advance, the second team from the Volga region, which should take part in the tournament at this point in time, is the Almetyevsk Neftyanik. Danila Kurkov has established himself as the recognized leader and scorer of the team. At the same time, it is worth recognizing that his partners have come close to him, with such partners in the top three attacks, all sky-high performance records are on the shoulder.

12. Artem Svishchev - Alexey Prokopenko - Ilya Reinhardt (Vanguard)

These guys seem to be matched to each other, perfectly complementing with their positive qualities not really strengths partners in the troika. I will not say that individually they are head and shoulders above their technique, coupled with the set skating and punching power, but together they are real strength. They have a direct competition with the three "Salavat Yulaev", in which the question of who will be able to pull his team to the third place is being decided. V this season more than half of the 100 goals scored by the team, or rather 51 goals, are accounted for by this three players.

11. Vladimir Sychev - Matvey Nadvorny - Matvey Petrov (Russia)

In recent matches, the troika has undergone significant changes. So the center forward Matvey Petrov played a match with Lokomotiv with the support of the Nazarov brothers at the edges. Last season it was, undoubtedly, the strongest attacking troika of its age, but in this championship something went wrong with the guys, they no longer had enough reinforced confidence and drive, it seems there is both diligence and desire, and the result comes with a big stretch, with a creak. The matches with the direct competitor “Dynamo” were indicative, in 2 games with them the actions of the troika were ineffectual. Due to changes in the arrangement, now such a combination is conditional, but at the same time its potential is noticeably higher than many other triples reflected in this list. What is good about the attacking lineup of "Rus" is the average level of the players, on the basis of their skill any new combination of the three will be watchable and pose a serious threat to the enemy.

10.Dmitry Lobanov - Evgeny Gustomesov - Tigran Yarulin (Tractor)

The choice of the best three in Traktor's line-up is still difficult. And it seems that there is a result, the team is currently in first place in the championship of the Ural Federal District, but from my point of view, in each trio there is some kind of not completely monolithic selection of performers. There are guys who drag the link, and there are those who drag it a little in the other direction. I am not asking me to judge strictly for this opus, but everything here rests on the principle that a weak player, playing with a strong partner, becomes stronger from this. This may be the origin of the permutations in the composition of the links, but for the most part everything is decided individual actions players, or played twos. Of all the triples, the best in its performance was the link of Gustomesov. On the other hand, the team has a result, and this is one of the most important components sports issue... It is worth noting the actions of Tigran Yarulin, who only this season joined Traktor from the Meteor-Signal team. The player has good data, he is a real player with good punching power and puck possession technique.

9. Matvey Michkov - Vladimir Bilan - Maxim Korostelev (Lokomotiv-2004)

Here is exactly the case when you need to pay tribute to the scouts and breeders of Lokomotiv. Many have been talking about the super-productive game of Matvey Michkov as part of the Perm Molot for a long time, but as often happens, all past merits can fade overnight as part of a new club, because the player often breaks down psychologically under the pressure of many components of both hockey and hockey. ... But here is not the case, with the guy's nerves everything turned out to be in order, and by 2003 year of birth, being a year younger, he played his entire conscious hockey life, so he did not need any additional measures to adapt. Also successful was the attraction to the club of the St. Petersburg pupil Maxim Korostelev, who last season tried to forget everyone about his existence as part of HC Ryazan, a team that played at the championship of the Moscow region. Only the central striker Vladimir Bilan looked like a real mastodon in the top three, whose game was in sight in the previous season, and the past three partners next to him also showed amazing interaction, constructiveness and efficiency. The guys started rolling from the very beginning, it is only worth noting that out of 69 abandoned goals of the team, in 45 they were marked by effective actions. Extreme strikers Michkov and Korostelev are real zealots on the court, with excellent scoring flair and outstanding technical equipment. Next to such lightweight forwards, Vladimir Bilan looks like a real "icebreaker", while I will not say that he has such outstanding dimensions, but in the ability to create pressure, fight for the puck, climb into a stroke in a forceful manner, he has no equal in this. The troika is very interesting, distinctive with its own game pattern, and many opposing teams have to break their brains thoroughly in order to find an antidote to their effective actions.

8. Vasily Dronyk - Nikita Shalyshkin - Igor Tyutyunnikov (CSKA)

It would be wrong, even unacceptable, to leave the capital's army aside. With the traditions that were laid down by the legends of our hockey, performing at one time under the banner of CSKA. It is worth saying that the young army men of 2003 maintain the reputation of the famous combinations with their play (even if at the childish level), and who knows, maybe after some time their names will also sound loudly on adult hockey television. The real tip of the trio's attacks is the left edge Vasily Dronyk, a player with an original dribbling, cunning, inventive, good master of completing attacks. Center forward Nikita Shalyshkin is a very punchy forward who feels good in a positional attack, it is very difficult for him to take the puck away when he controls it. The technical and nimble Igor Tyutyunnikov perfectly complements his attacking partners

7. Ivan Miroshnichenko - Ivan Dementyev - Prokhor Poltapov (Vityaz)

Next to such excellent techies as Prokhor Poltapov and Ivan Miroshnichenko, anyone will play, even me. Recently, No. 63 and No. 13 have included super-match acceleration for hammering pucks into the opponents' goal. So Miroshnichenko after the resumption of the Moscow Open in the new 2016 in 3 games scored (8 + 4) 12 points, and the team captain Prokhor Poltapov (4 + 10) 14 points for the same number of matches as his teammate in the top three ... This season, "Vityaz" followed the path of the older ages born in 2001 and 2002, deciding to invite some of the strongest players of their age under their banner. Perhaps that is why the team from Podolsk included the long-term leader of the Silver Lions, Prokhor Poltapov, who was accompanied in the attack by one of the best players born in 2004, Ivan Miroshnichenko. Thanks to such personalities, the three turned out to be the most balanced in the team and the initial retreat about any player who played with them was just a retreat. It must be admitted that Ivan Dementyev's play creates a good maneuver for the attacking actions of his three-team partners in the opponent's zone. Not a bad attacking trio, which adds chemistry and chemistry to each other with each match.

6. Nikita Grebenkin - Vadim Aukhadeev - Adis Ultanbekov (Metallurg.Mg)

Another interesting and original troika from the Urals, in which very skilled players have gathered. Central forward Aukhadeev demonstrates on the court the best sides his role, good vision of the court, game thinking, the ability to draw a pass past the defending players. He has very soft skating and flexible arms. His teammate in the top three attacking Adis Ultanbekov is an overall player, quite sharp and explosive, who climbs onto the opponent's goal, not noticing obstacles. On the other side Nikita Grebenkin is distinguished by his puck handling technique and has a good feel for the threads of the game. This season, Magnitogorsk competes with Traktor from Chelyabinsk for the first place in the championship of the Ural Federal District at its age, and so far, if the matches are tied, it is 1 point behind. Even the 4th personal meetings between the teams did not reveal the winner, having determined the equality of victories and defeats. In the end, everything should be decided by team skill, the length of the bench, the embodiment of the coaching intentions as a result, and many other components, including the productive and effective actions of the teams' striking triplets.

5. Yan Grachev - Daniil Nichukhrin - Alexander Lazarev (Ermak)

Looking at the performance of the rest of the attacking triplets in other teams of the championship "Siberia-Far East", it becomes clear due to which the actions of the guys from the strike troika of "Ermak" prevail on the court against the background of the other players of the opposing teams. There is meaning in their actions, and not only fundamental to their individual skill and ability to make cavalry swoops. The ability to play pass, notice partners, combine and create on the court cannot take this away from them. They are all so different, but still they are together. The extreme striker Yan Grachev is a born techie, not oversized, but this does not in the least affect his productivity of actions, he communicates with the puck on “you”. Right edge Alexander Lazarev from my point of view at the moment is one of the ten strongest strikers of his age. He is a well-built hockey player, he has an excellent sense of the game, he knows how to both shine with bright individual skill and work for a partner, you never know what to expect from him at any given second. Central forward Daniil Nichukhrin is a real motor of the team, a sharp, stubborn hockey player, who has time to put pressure and work on defense. All the guys are distinguished by a good set wrist throw and excellent chemistry on the court. Of course, there is a lack of competition in the championship, and someday you will have to leave for other clubs, and it is quite possible that this season in this combination will be the last for this interesting three of the attack.

4. Yuji Akimoto - Vsevolod Gaydamak - Matvey Gridin (GDSYUSHOR)

A former defender who turned into a striker, a player with Japanese roots, a hockey player who is three years younger than his teammates on the court, well, just some incredibly explosive mixture, which, nevertheless, perfectly positions itself in the quality of the game and the number of goals scored. In the offseason, half of the Khabarovsk Amur, headed by the head coach of the team, changed the banks of the river of the same name to the banks of the Neva. Of course, such a transition in St. Petersburg caused a lot of gossip, but conversations are conversations, and hockey not only lives on them, but also breathes the game. At the moment, the team is the best in terms of lost points in the championship "St. Petersburg" and, having 2 games in reserve, is 1 point behind the team taking the 1st place. The key figure of the attacking troika is the overall central striker Vsevolod Gaydamak, former defender who has always been partial to the dashing attack music. A regular at the top of the list of scorers at any tournament, he has already managed to score 38 goals in 18 games in the championship of St. Petersburg. it recognized leader teams, it is on such figures that the game of the hockey team is built. Matvey Gridin, who is several years younger than his partners in the top three, is a player born in 2006, pays particular attention to himself. Slender, a head smaller than the rest of the hockey players, it would seem that there should not be a wet place from him at the joints, but what is significant is that he is like a glove on skates, and besides, he is very mobile. Despite his height, he is always ready to join forceful combat, to fight for the puck. I will also note his vision of the site, the ability to provide a partner with a verified and accurate transmission. Another winger, Yuji Akimoto, is not only good at playing along with partners, but also, if necessary, is able to take over the game and sparkle with a bright individual game. All together, the guys demonstrate good interaction with each other, and without abandoned pucks they rarely leave the site.

3. Nikita Tarasevich - Ilya Ivantsov - Stephen Sardaryan (Rus)

It is unlikely that before the start of the season, many hockey specialists assumed that the main impact force the capital "Rus" will be the Ivantsov troika. But the season gradually went on as usual, more than one match was played and the role of the team leaders, not only in terms of performance, but also in the quality of interaction and mutual understanding, was first tried on and then finally taken by the above three players. At the same time, the matter was limited not only to the Moscow Open Championship, but also to a representative international tournament in North America "Miami Beach Invitational 2015", where some of strongest teams USA and Canada their own age. By the way, at this tournament, Belarusian Nikita Tarasevich became the only player in the team to be included in the symbolic top five of the tournament's best players. The progress of the player, who played last season in the second group of the Moscow championship, for Severnaya Zvezda, is obvious and noticeable. His style of play is iconic, noticeable and easily distinguishable. He is in a good way an arrogant player, not afraid to go along a short straight line to the opponent's goal. In addition, he knows how to open up in time and, due to the technique, leave no lot for the defenders of the defending team. He has a strong and fast throw from the wrists. The main thing for such a player is to recharge with timely sharpening passes and open up space for further actions, which the born passer Ilya Ivantsov and the technically equipped Stephen Sardaryan do just fine. I noticed that in the last matches, the troika is already the first, and the only one of all in the team has not undergone a shuffle of the roster.

2. Oleg Sedantsov - Dmitry Katelevsky - Nikita Vinogradov (Ak Bars)

This combination of players took place at the December Constellation tournament. Right edge Nikita Vinogradov, who plays for Kristall Saratov, has strengthened the composition of the Kazan team. According to the results of the tournament, "Ak Bars" took first place. In all the matches played, the troika stood out for their play, showing an outstanding mutual understanding. I would like to note the bright mind of the central striker Dmitry Katelevsky, who at the tournament very competently and subtly conducted the actions of his teammates. I remember for his actions the right edge Nikita Vinogradov, such a tall player, at the same time for his growth well coordinated and feeling the game, not afraid to go to the joint. When the five were on the court, the vector of attack development immediately moved to the opponent's goal, and often such pressure stopped only after the puck was scored.

1.Ivan Lykov - Danil Lazutin - Nikita Chibrikov (Dynamo)

From my point of view, at this point in time, this is the most optimal and high-quality combination of players, which has proved its worth more than once in meetings with a principled and strong opponent. Their share in the team success of Dynamo is great, because they account for more than half of the goals scored by the blue and white Open Championship Moscow, or rather 50 goals out of 86 team. And this is definitely not the limit. All the guys can do a lot on the set, and they bring a lot of their plans to life. Their iconic qualities, speed, punching power, puck handling technique, non-standard decision-making are perfectly expressed in them, which in total has a very positive effect on the team's result.

In mid-April 2016, Kazan will host the Russian championship among club teams, where many of the triplets indicated in this report will clash in personal confrontation. I think they have something to prove to each other. So the tournament will in many ways become fundamental in determining the best of the best, both in terms of results and in terms of play.

The Ice Hockey World Championship in Moscow has ended. Anniversary, but not "golden" for us. Bronze. Students from Canada took gold, while young hockey players from the United States competed for bronze. And that's what I thought. In 5-7 years Russia will again host the strongest hockey teams in the world. Maybe we should also follow the path of the NHL. To recruit young and promising people to the national team; they have a completely different attitude to the honor of playing for the national team. No assaults on current legionnaires from NHL clubs. Old horse, as they say ... I'm talking about something else. It's time to watch young people and introduce them to the national team, not in doses, but in droves. These reflections prompted me to write about a talented hockey player. I already wrote about him, but that was a long time ago. He then played for the Perm "Hammer". Now Matvey Michkov is in Yaroslavl and represents the colors of the famous Lokomotiv.
I will write about how the Michkovs got to Yaroslavl later. First, statistics, without it anywhere in any sport.

How the guy started the season write witnesses of this hockey nugget on the site "Lokomotiv. Shinny-2003 year of birth "(2015)



http://hockey2003.ru/?tag=locomotive-2004

A couple of weeks ago, the results of the 2015/2016 season were summed up. The game of Matvey Michkov was appreciated by experts ...
And recognized as one of the best.



"9. Matvey Michkov - Vladimir Bilan - Maxim Korostelev (Lokomotiv-2004)

Here is exactly the case when you need to pay tribute to the scouts and breeders of Lokomotiv. Many have been talking about the super-productive game of Matvey Michkov as part of the Perm Molot for a long time, but as often happens, all past merits can fade overnight as part of a new club, because the player often breaks down psychologically under the pressure of many components of both hockey and hockey. ...

Matvey's results are primarily the merit of his father, Andrei Vladislavovich. It was this Kungur boy, who was head over heels in love with hockey and played for the RMZ team for more than one year, who understood that it is impossible to become a professional hockey player without perseverance and tough mentoring. This is how the sports "career" of Andrey's son Matvey Michkov, the best bambardier, began. hockey team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. Andrey traveled with him from Kungur to Perm to give the guy an opportunity to study. Then the family moved to Perm and Matvey began to play in the Hammer team. And everywhere near Main coach our Matveyka is his father Andrey.



Here he is our Matvey.

Maybe in the next World Ice Hockey Championship, which will be held in our country, the colors of the national flag will be defended by a Kungur boy, Lokomotiv's top scorer - Matvey Michkov. Our pride!
Hockey for the Michkov family is the main thing. During games in the stands ice palace Maria Georgievna, the mother of our hero and brother Prokhor, is also experiencing, perhaps also a future hockey player. And when grandmother Zoya Vsevolodovna and grandfather Vladislav Pavlovich are visiting his son, then all the conversations in the family are only about him. About hockey.
When Lokomotiv summed up the results of the past season, under the arches of the ice palace sounded " Top scorer- Matvey Michkov! "And it was the most exciting moment in the life of the family. And not only them. In Moscow, Yaroslavl, Perm and Kungur, hearing this phrase, they experienced an amazing feeling. A feeling of pride, love and respect for all the Michkovs from Yaroslavl.

Go ahead, Matvey! We believe in you! You are the best! Kungur is proud of you!
