A lot of people gathered at the open training session of the Komar team, created on the initiative of popular actors and supported by the Higher Hockey League. Of course, one cannot compare with the attendance of the matches of the host of the arena "Spartak", but still. Yes, and not entirely ethical, according to by and large, draw a parallel between amateurs and professionals.

The lesson itself lasted half an hour. A short warm-up-rolling, shots on goal, shootouts, after which Komar split into two teams to conduct a two-sided match. In it "white", where the soloist was the founder of the group Uma2rman Sergey Kristovsky, won a victory over the "blacks", which included the famous saxophonist, People's Artist of Russia Igor Butman and actress Maria Chernova, who took a chance and eventually made her way into the men's team.

After the end of the lesson, the newly minted hockey players in the improvised mixed zone were attacked by feather sharks.

- What are the feelings?- a question to the president of the Russian stuntmen association Alexander Inshakov.
- Wonderful. I did the sixth workout. Already a forward, there is no equal. It remains only to learn how to stand on skates. In general, I must say that today in the lesson we showed far from all of our developments and tactical ideas. We have saved something. After all, we have to compete at the Sochi Olympics, so why reveal all the secrets?

- Are you seriously?
- There is nowhere more serious.

- Will the skills learned on the hockey rink come in handy in life?- journalists asked the famous actor Alexandra Nosik.
- And how! Now I can definitely cut a pedestrian, and press someone to the wall ( laughs). But seriously, the idea to create such a team is just great. Many of my friends have been playing in some groups for a long time, but until recently I still couldn't do it. And now life has changed. Great! By the way, thanks to well-known television projects, I seem to have had some kind of ice skating experience, so I didn't feel much excitement before the first training session. But, going out on the ice, he immediately stretched out. Then I realized: everything has to be started all over again. It seems like nothing, it turns out.

Sergey Kristovsky answered questions in detail:

By and large, goals - points - seconds are not very important for us now. The team is playing well, many of them started skating for the first time quite recently. But the audience, I hope, is convinced today how fast we are progressing.

- But you, apparently, are familiar with hockey firsthand?
- And there is. He came to the section at the age of six, studied it for a long time, but in the end, due to an injury, he was forced to end his hockey career. When my friends called and invited me to Komar, I immediately agreed. And I do not regret it at all. We have a wonderful team, we have become so friends that we even start to get bored without communication, and literally fly to training. Although they begin when at midnight, and when and later.

- What role are you?
- Wing forward, well, assistant to our captain Sasha Morozov.

- Are there any matches planned for the near future?
- As far as I know, yes. We did not just go out on the ice as such a big "gang". We formed, worked out, now we need to look at others, show ourselves ( laughs).

There were a lot of theater and film stars on the ice of the Sports Palace in Sokolniki that day, and if you consider that training was absent for various reasons - shooting, touring Marat Basharov, Vyacheslav Razbegaev and Askold Zapashny One can imagine how popular Komar will be when it finally starts to hold official or semi-official matches.

The post-workout press conference was attended by the team leader, managing director of VHL German Skoropupov, general producer of the film company "OKO-film", captain of "Komara" Alexander Morozov, Inshakov, Butman, Kristovsky, other players.

I am very pleased to be a member of this team, - Skoropupov admitted. - Now I can say that I see hockey not from the office, but from the inside. And many of those present will probably agree with me: the work of a hockey player is incredibly hard. Everyone can be convinced of this: it is enough to put on all the necessary ammunition at least once. And not just put it on, but correctly ( smiles).

The Higher Hockey League has always supported and supports projects related to the promotion of sports "to the people", primarily, of course, hockey. The artists playing in our team are popular with millions of viewers, and their active sports activities will surely become an example to follow.

I know perfectly well how busy our team members are, how hard it is sometimes for them, but, in spite of everything, they regularly come to trainings and do not indulge themselves in anything. And what an amazing atmosphere we have in the dressing room and on the court!

Actually, when creating Komar, we first of all tried to form the foundations for the physical and spiritual education of the younger generation. In addition, together with the artists, we will try to solve one more problem - to involve everyone in hockey. age groups... Trust me: this is a wonderful sport!

I will also add that our project has nothing to do with commerce. The team's activities will be aimed at participating in charity events and public events.

If interested, I can name the dates that we will now celebrate annually, - Morozov took the floor. - The team was born on March 7, and on June 13 it got its current name. It turns out that Komar has two holidays - and both are important. In order to remove possible questions, I will immediately note that we will celebrate these events with intensive training. How else? After all, we want not only to play hockey, but also to win.

The team of artists-hockey players "Komar" in a star lineup visited Yalta for the first time in early February. The players decided to play a match with the Crimean national team in order to support young athletes, participants children's tournament"Yalta Cup 2016", and especially those who could not win the main award of the competition. Needless to say, there were a lot of admirers of the creativity of actors and singers who participated in the match against the Crimean national team, because there are so many celebrities in summer capital republic, and even on the only ice skating rink in the city - a whole event. Musicians Kirill Andreev, Sergey Kristovsky, actors Alexander Dyachenko, Alexander Morozov, Alexander Peskov, Andrey Frolov, Timofey Fokin and other stars took to the ice to thunderous applause. Producer and captain of the Komar team Alexander Morozov, actors Alexander Dyachenko and Timofey Fokin told the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda - Crimea about the Komar hockey club that had already become their home and their impressions of South Shore Crimea.

"Inspiration and passion"

- Tell us how the team of artists was created, how were the players selected?

Actor, producer and captain of the Komar team Alexander Morozov:

The team was created in 2013 - on March 7, Komar will celebrate its official birthday - with my participation, the general manager of the club Maria Chernova and with the support of Vysshaya hockey league... The players came to us themselves, these are the people who advocate healthy image life. But we invited the current honorary president of the club, Alexander Inshakov. We must pay tribute - he is already 69 years old, and he perfectly joined the team and plays on a par with us.

Actor Alexander Peskov:

When this team was organized, a cry was thrown and everyone who used to skate, who did not, came and began to practice.

- Did you skate?

In the sixth grade, he played Russian ice hockey. This is not such an ice box, but a football field, in winter it is simply flooded. Then we did not have ice rinks where I grew up. Since then, I have not been particularly friends with skates. But in a year and a half, a skill is acquired. Firstly, this is all very cool, interesting, it inspires, captivates - excitement, so I want to do it. So you can get addicted, especially the health benefits, popularization of sports. Well, in general, a pleasant pastime. The workouts are exhausting, of course, but, nevertheless, they bring great pleasure.

"I'm not afraid of either a black cat or a white elephant!"

Who came up with the design of the Komar club uniform? (image of a sports muscular mosquito with hockey stick... - Approx. auth.).

Alexander Morozov:

I came up with it, and then it was already coordinated with the team.

- The players' uniforms at the match were different ...

Yes, Kirill Andreev (Ivanushki International group. - Author's note) had a different one, because the luggage was mixed up at the airport and his things flew the other way. I had to replace it.

- How many people are in your team now? And how were the numbers assigned to the players?

We now have sixty-two players. But the composition of the team in the matches changes, because the actors are shooting or touring (see the section "Help" KP "). And as for the numbers - they chose which number is closer to whom. I have a "thirteenth" - I'm not superstitious - and I even like Friday the thirteenth. Even though a black cat can run across the road to me, even a white elephant is all the same!

- You arrived on the eve of the game and were almost a day before the match. How did you spend your time?

We went, we looked at Yalta. I liked it very much!

- You, probably, often visit Crimea?

Actor Alexander Dyachenko:

I - yes, I was often on the set. And not only on the set. I love Crimea very much, I like not only to work here, but also to relax. But Timofey is here in Yalta for the first time.

- And how do you like Yalta?

Actor Timofey Fokin:

I am simply delighted with her beauty, I can’t even convey it. When I walked along the embankment, I remembered a huge tree ...

REFERENCE "KP"

From Crimea to Baikal!

The Hockey Club of the Komar Artists' Team was established on March 7, 2013. The stars of theater and cinema, pop stars act for him: the singer Oleg Gazmanov, actors Oscar Kuchera, Vyacheslav Razbegaev, President of the Association of Stuntmen of Russia Alexander Inshakov, director Sergei Makhovikov and many others.

In three years hockey club Komar took part in various matches - charitable, friendly, in the Night Hockey League matches, in support of Russian tourism. Famous players toured half the country with hockey tours - from Crimea to Lake Baikal.

Over time, one of the most legendary KVN teams has become the most popular project in the country - according to requests from Yandex, they overtake everyone who has ever appeared on TV. They also entered the top ratings of the Russian Forbes for a long time, and they are not going to drop out of there especially.

At the same time, it seems from the outside that, despite the well-deserved fees with many zeros, they absolutely did not change themselves in any way. The guys are still very fond of hockey (especially their native Yekaterinburg Avtomobilist), are friends with Pavel Datsyuk and other NHL and KAH players, and they themselves are never averse to picking up a stick.

The most active hockey players in the team are Sergey Isaev, who is also a member of the Board of Trustees of Avtomobilist, Dmitry Brekotkin and Andrey Rozhkov... From time to time on skates on Instagram "dumplings" you can see Sergei Netievsky and Maxim Yaritsu.

Of course, Uralskie Dumplings are engaged in hockey for themselves, but on occasion they are ready to play for someone else - at the end of July they took part in a charity All-Star Game - between Titan, where the governor played Sverdlovsk region Evgeny Kuyvashev, and "Olympus" by Anton Shipulin. The Kaveenschiki performed together with the athletes and eventually won the meeting with a score of 2: 3.

However, the main figures of the evening are the amount that will be spent on the repair and construction of sports facilities in the Serov orphanage. And according to the first estimates, more than half a million rubles were collected.

Russian men's national biathlon team

Continuing the theme of the same charity match, let us name the remaining members of the Olympus team. From Ivan Tcherezova,Anton Shipulina,Sergei Chepikov,Victor Maigurov,Nikolay Kruglov and Artem Guseva one could well make up a timeless biathlon team. It is interesting that the captain of the team - Anton Shipulin - only this year started skating for the first time, training with Ural dumplings as well.

Viktor Maygurov scored one of the goals in the match against Titan - it was his goal that equalized the score and became the last one in the regular time of the match.

Russian men's national ski team

Ivan Alypov, Alexander Legkov, Evgeny Dementyev- another symbolic team in the "Olympus" - this time in cross-country skiing.

Natalia Ragozina, boxer

Dmitry Sychev

2004 footballer in Russia Dmitry Sychev, better known in last years as a restaurant owner, DJ, businessman, was born in Omsk - in a city where the question "Can you skate?" completely irrelevant.

He took part in charity matches of star hockey players - he played for the team of Ilya Kovalchuk in 2011. Then he admitted that he plays hockey a couple of times a month. By the way, in the same game, Sychev was able to excel, which was unusual then for Sychev the football player.

On skates and with a stick in his hands - from the age of 6, when his father took him to one of the hockey schools Chelyabinsk.

Champion of the Amateur Hockey League, currently the Chelyabinsk striker is listed in two Moscow teams - "Coliseum" and "Komar". Plays with Danis Zaripov's clubs.

Periodically goes on the ice with former KVN teammates "Persons of the Ural Nationality", most of whom are currently working as screenwriters, authors and producers of various humorous projects on Russian TV.

Lera Kudryavtseva, presenter

The wife of Igor Makarov and, concurrently, the constant presenter of "New Wave" and "Song of the Year", became seriously interested in hockey after meeting her future husband. The season before last Lera Kudryavtseva agreed to take part in the project to create a team of SKA wives and girlfriends and regularly attended training sessions. The result is 0 points scored in the season closing match, but the victory of the team for which she played.

After Igor Makarov moved to Neftekhimik, and then CSKA was not seen on the ice with a stick.

Komar team

In September 2013, the presentation of the first stellar team of artists playing hockey took place in Moscow. The appearance of the hockey analogue of StarCo is an initiative of the celebrities themselves, supported by the VHL and personally by German Skoropupov. The HC "Komar" includes actors, musicians and others famous people... Periodically participates in short-term amateur tournaments - including the Night Hockey League festival.

Igor Butman, musician

The famous saxophonist considers hockey the second most important thing in his life - after music. In childhoodIgor Butmansimultaneously studied in music school and the CYSS of the Leningrad SKA, however, when it came time to make a choice, he settled on art. A frequent participant in charity and friendly matches with the participation of politicians, as well as in the post-season exhibition games of the St. Petersburg army men.

Andrey Burkovsky, actor

Andrey Burkovsky(he is "Rusty" from "Give youth", he is also a member of the KVN team "Maximum" - the champion Major League KVN) is currently employed at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater, however, he also finds time for hockey.

Alexander Inshakov, stuntman

In ordinary hockey, the title of honorary president of the club means the role of "wedding general", but in amateurs it is different.Alexander Inshakovcalmly combines an honorary position with the role of a defender in the same team. However, could one expect something different from the president of the Association of Russian Stuntmen?

Marat Basharov, actor, presenter

Back in the days of the "Ice Age", rolling around the country,Marat Basharovforced the participants in the show to change their usual skates to hockey and play with local amateur teams. He loves hockey so much that sometimes he is ready to postpone several performances with his participation.

Andrey Merzlikin, actor

The actor, known to one generation as "Dimon" from "Boomer", younger viewers will recognize Maxim Streltsov - the coach of "Ice Kings" from the series "Youth". However, even before the filming of the hockey "soap"Andrey Merzlikinknew how to stand perfectly on skates and hold a club.

Andrey Sokolov, actor, presenter

The famous actor and host of the Black and White program on the First Channel chose, perhaps, the most difficult role in the team. However. atAndrey Sokolovthere is the necessary gaming experience for this.

Oleg Gazmanov, singer

Oleg* My thoughts, my horses * Gazmanov does not play for Komar very often (he started skating seriously only at 63), but he is not indifferent to hockey - just listen one of his last creations.

Igor Ugolnikov, actor, presenter

• Hockey trunks in Magnitogorsk

  The price is lower than that of branded ones. Quality is space! From every thread to the mechanisms of the wheels. There is an opportunity to see it in person. If the time has come ...

• The producer told about the upcoming battle "KP" hockey team artists "Komar" Alexander Morozov Honestly, this news is very similar to a rally. The producer of the Komar hockey team, Alexander Morozov, told Komsomolskaya Pravda that the most sexy men planets - Leonardo DiCaprio and David Beckham in December they will descend on the capital. And not for the sake of a movie premiere or the wedding of a tough businessman, as is usually the case, but to cross clubs on ice in a match with Russian celebrities. - I persuaded David Beckham to trade sports boots for skates. And Leo too. DiCaprio was generally one of the first to agree to this adventure, ”Aleksandr Morozov, producer of the Komar hockey team of artists, told KP. - However, two people, with all their desire, will not be able to play hockey. Therefore, we have accumulated whole team from the stars of the world magnitude. Judge for yourself, Justin Bieber, Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, Brooke Hammer and Keanu Reeves also wanted to take part in the match. Keanu, by the way, will be standing at the gate, says Morozov with pride. The foreign "dream team" will also have notable opponents - Marat Basharov, Andrei Merzlikin, Igor Butman, Andrei Sokolov, Kirill Andreev from Ivanushki and, of course, Alexander Morozov himself. “Of course, I cannot deny myself the pleasure and not go on the ice in such a stellar match,” says the producer of the Komar team. - And we, by the way, really hope to win this fight. Therefore, my team “Komar” and I (which includes all the above-mentioned Russian celebrities) now spend almost all our time in training. I hope that by December we will play in such a way that we will act at the level of NHL players. By the way, anyone can watch the confrontation between DiCaprio and Basharov. Tickets Coming Soon open sale... We are still deciding on the venue and date. - Alexander, I'm sorry, but your news is very much like an April Fool's joke. You call such star names ... - Yes, it really looks like a joke, - Morozov smiles slyly. - When I created the hockey team of artists "Komar", everything was also like a rally. But, apparently, the love of hockey helped. And I think our foreign colleagues are in solidarity with me. Komar is already three years old. I had the idea of ​​a match with Hollywood stars for two years. And three months ago, she began to be embodied in reality. I can say that we found a common language with the guys very quickly! America, as you know, is the land of hockey. Komar - for the development of hockey and Russian hockey, in particular. We apparently clashed with interests, because our Western colleagues have great respect for our country and sports. Therefore, everything worked out. - How are negotiations with Western stars going? Who is most difficult with? - Leo DiCaprio, when I invited him to play with us, was very happy! After all, he has Russian roots, in my opinion, in Chelyabinsk. Although, recently, I saw a video on the network in which he tells how he is afraid of long flights. I hope all will be ok. Legendary horror filmmaker Steven Spielberg was literally horrified in the first minute, but it was more of a joke. All the guys responded to our proposal with great pleasure.

  Out on the ice, Spout immediately fell, and Inshakov demanded a second stick

  Domestic celebrities have once again proved that they can not only sing and act in films, but also engage in a real man's job - to play hockey. The other day on the ice of the main arena Ice Palace Sokolniki hosted a presentation of a new hockey team of artists (abbreviated as KomAr). It included such famous people as Sergey Kristovsky, Askold Zapashny, Vladislav Kotlyarsky, Alexander Nosik, Igor Butman, Vladimir Yaglych, Petr Kislov, Artur Rudenko, Marat Basharov, team captain producer Alexander Morozov and team president Alexander Inshakov.

  The game is quite difficult, difficult, often tough, so you must always remain a man, - says the actor and producer Alexander Inshakov. - It's easier for me to stand on the ground for an hour than to play hockey. When I went out on the ice for the first time, I leaned on the club all the time so as not to fall. And as soon as he hit the puck, he lost his balance and immediately crashed. I had to ask for a second club so that there was something to lean on (laughs). But, never mind, we will learn: for me this is a hobby that is gradually developing into interest. It's great to get new sensations, new emotions. All this is interesting to me, besides, I need to support my friends and comrades.

  - Do the skills acquired during single combats help you in hockey?
  - Certainly! First of all, this is the respect of the enemy, the ability to stand up for oneself and for a comrade.
  - Is it more difficult to play hockey or to act in films?
  - Both are difficult. And cinema is a difficult matter, often not rewarding, and in hockey - the same thing, colossal loads. We must really work. Well, if you don't work, then nothing will work, in the cinema as well. A month ago, I did not even think that I would play hockey... And two years ago I did not imagine that I would sing songs, but I do. There is no limit to improvement and that's great!
  Another actor we met on the ice was Alexander Nosik, who came to training with his wife.
  - I specially brought my wife here to show her that I am doing nights, while I'm not with her, - the actor shared with us. - I believe that what we do is a true sport. For all the time, unfortunately, I missed two workouts, and then only because I was on the set.

  - Where is it more difficult to play: on stage or on ice?
  - On stage, I consider myself a professional, a good quality artisan who works with conviction. There I get tired, as if I played the whole game in offense alone without replacement, but this is a different kind of fatigue. This is where I master the new kind sports, and here it is still more difficult, since not everything works out. Hockey, theater and cinema are collective activities in which the main thing is not to let the team down. When you're alone, you can afford to lose, then force yourself to win. Here, your loss is the loss of the whole team, so you react very painfully if you make a mistake and substitute your partners.
  - Do you behave like an actor on the ice?
  - At this moment, I behave like a 15-year-old boy who once did not finish playing hockey. I never had a uniform, did not have shin guards, I got the skates from my sister's classmate. I have never played on such ice, in a team, so I am delighted to now plunge into this world of hockey, study all the bells and whistles. For example, I stick scotch tape on the shields so that they don't slip.

  - Is it difficult to skate?
  - Despite the fact that I had already participated in the "Stars on Ice" project, going out on the ice today, I immediately fell flat. And then another twice collided with colleagues head-on, because he could not wrap. But nothing, today I have already toured Igor Butman.
  - Do you agree that cowards don't play hockey?
  - There are no people who are not afraid. There are those who can cope with their fear. Here are injuries, severe physical exercise... Therefore, really, only brave people play hockey, judging by the way they peel and fight on the field. But the most courageous are those who go to defend their homeland, or doctors trying to save a person's life.
  - Do you use the skills learned here in your life?
  - Well, yes, I overtake pedestrians at the crossing, board them, take the puck and try to score into the target of the exit (laughs). Here, after all, it is hockey, and there is life.
  - Why did you decide to take up hockey?
  - Yes, because it's cool! And I recommend it to everyone!
  The plans of the team of hockey artists are truly ambitious: already planned demonstration performances on the Olympic Games in Sochi and negotiations are underway to meet on ice with Hollywood actors.
