Valeri Bure

Full Name: Valeri Vladimirovich Bure
Last Team: Dallas Stars
Number: 8
Position: Right Wing
Height: 5’10”/178 cm
Weight: 180 lbs/82 kg
Born: June 13, 1974 in Moscow, RUS
Drafted: Selected by the Montreal Canadiens in 2nd round (33rd overall) of the 1992 Entry Draft

Strengths: Bure had many of the same electrifying traits as his older brother, Pavel. “The Pocket Rocket” was as good at creating plays as he was at scoring timely goals. He had one of the NHL’s most dangerous slapshots.

Weaknesses: Bure played best as a supporting player on talented teams, but he was not always dependent when entrusted with being the primary offensive threat of a team. Valeri also was also prone to injuries from NHL’s physical game and retired very early.

Sergei Bobrovsky

Full name: Sergei Andreevich Bobrovsky
Team: Columbus Blue Jackets
Number: 72
Position: Goaltender
Height: 6’2”/189 cm
Weight: 190 lbs/86 kg
Catches: Left
Born: September 20, 1988 in Novokuznetsk, RUS
Drafted: Not drafted in NHL

Strengths: Bobrovsky is a naturally athletic butterfly-style goaltender and is quickly becoming one of the NHL’s most competitive and elite netminders. He is a hard worker whose confidence can inspire his team to go on long winning streaks.

Weaknesses: Bobrovsky is still establishing himself as a long-term no. 1 goalie and has yet to find success in the playoffs. He has no playoff wins in six starts.

Biography: Sergei Bobrovsky was born in and began playing hockey in the Siberian city of Novokuznetsk. He developed as a goaltender with the Metallurg club. In 2006, he made his professional debut playing for Metallurg in the Russian Superleague. From the next season onwards, he was the team’s starting goalie. Bobrovsky played well and was even invited to the league’s all-star game in 2008, but his team was a perennial playoff outsider. At the 2008 World Junior Championship, Bobrovsky was Russia’s main goaltender and the team finished with bronze medals. Sergei’s big break came in 2010, when his contract with Metallurg Novokuznetsk expired. He was never drafted in the NHL, so he was signed a contract with the Philadelphia Flyers as a free agent. Despite making the Stanley Cup final in the previous season, the Flyers’ goaltending was a major question mark during the 2010 training camp. An injury to the team’s main goalie gave Bobrovsky the chance to show he could be the no. 1. One month into the season, Bobrovsky was leading all NHL goalies in wins (11 in 14 games) and was named the rookie of the month. By the end of the season, he accumulated 28 wins in 54 games. Despite his regular season success, Bobrovsky faltered in his first playoff game and was relegated to backup. For the next season, the Flyers signed fellow Russian Ilya Bryzgalov to share goalkeeping duties with Bobrovsky. Sergei was the backup for most of the season and his statistics were not as good as in the previous season. In the summer of 2012, he was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets. During the 2012-13 NHL lockout, Bobrovsky played for SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL. He had an excellent rebound season and rgained confidence, posting 18 wins in 24 games for SKA before the NHL resumed. Bobrovsky continued his brilliant play for Columbus. He was the team’s MVP in the short season and almost led the Blue Jackets to the playoffs. Although the team did not make the post-season, Sergei was nominated for the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s best goalie.

Valeri Kamensky

Full Name: Valeri Viktorovich Kamensky
Last Team: Khimik Voskresensk (RSL)
Number: 13
Position: Left Wing
Height: 6’1”/185 cm
Weight: 196 lbs/89 kg
Born: April 18, 1966 in Voskresensk, RUS
Drafted: Selected by the Quebec Nordiques in 7th round (129th overall) of the 1988 Entry Draft

Strengths: Kamensky was one of the best forwards that developed in the Soviet Union in the 1980s. His playmaking and sniping abilities carried over successfully to the NHL, where he was one of the fastest skaters.

Weaknesses: Kamensky played best with equally talented linemates, but struggled when he had to lead a team. Despite his strong efforts, he did not develop into a great all-around forward.

Biography: Valeri Kamensky grew up and began his hockey career in Voskresensk, a small city in the Moscow Region that has raised several hockey stars, including Igor Larionov and Vyacheslav Kozlov. Like Larionov, Kamensky developed with the Khimik sports club and after a few seasons moved to CSKA – the country’s top club. In 1985, he was a member of the bronze-medal Soviet team at the World Junior Championship and in the following year won the gold medal with the team. In the late 1980s, Kamensky became one of the top scorers for both the Red Army team and for the national team. He primarily played on a line with Vyacheslav Bykov and Andrei Khomutov – the Soviet Union’s top scoring threat after the famous Krutov-Larionov-Makarov troika. With Kamensky, the Soviet Union won World Championship gold medals in 1986, 1988, 1989, and 1990, a silver medal in 1987, and a bronze in 1991. At the 1991 World Championship, he was named the tournament’s top forward. Kamensky also had memorable performances at the 1987 Canada Cup, where the USSR finished second, and the 1988 Olympics which the team won. While he was with CSKA, his team won four consecutive Soviet championships from 1986 to 1989. Kamensky was named the top Soviet hockey player in 1991. Although he was drafted by the NHL’s Quebec Nordiques in 1988, Valeri had to wait until 1991 to play hockey in North America. By the time he left CSKA and Russia, he had a rank of First Lieutenant and was decorated with a Medal for Labour Valour. With the Nordiques, Kamensky was playing at near point-per-game pace in his first few seasons and was one of several European stars on the team, along with Swedes Mats Sundin and Peter Forsberg. For the duration of the 1994-95 NHL lockout, Kamensky joined Ambri-Piotta of the Swiss league. The following season was the most successful not only for the Nordiques (which moved to Colorado and became the Avalanche), but also for Kamensky. He scored a career-high 38 goals and 85 points and added 22 points in the playoffs, with his team winning the Stanley Cup. With this victory, Valeri was one of the first Russians (with teammate Alexei Gusarov) to join the rare Triple-Gold club of players who have won the World Junior Championship, the World Championship, and the Stanley Cup. Kamensky maintained a high-scoring rate in the next two seasons and his dangling goal against Panthers keeper John Vanbiesbrouck was selected the best goal of the 1997-98 season. That year, Kamensky also played for Russia at the Nagano Olympics, where the team lost in the gold-medal final to the Czechs. In 1999, Kamensky signed with the New York Rangers and in 2001-02 played his final NHL season for the Dallas Stars and the New Jersey Devils. At this point, he was a supporting rather than a top-line player and was scratched from the lineup on a regular basis. He announced his retirement in 2002, but the next year returned to Russia to play for the club where he began his career – Khimik. Kamensky had a productive final season in 2004-05, scoring 17 goals and not missing any games. Kamensky is currently a board member of the Kontinental Hockey League and is chairman of the league’s disciplinary committee. He is also a noted collector of autographed hockey sticks.

World Junior Championship 2013

Host City: Ufa, Russia
December 26, 2012 – January 5, 2013
RESULT: BRONZE MEDAL

Expectations were very high for Russia’s team at this tournament. Not only was there extra pressure in the wake of the senior national team’s successes, but also these World Juniors were held on home soil in Ufa. New coach Mikhail Varnakov brought back nine players from the silver-medal 2012 squad, including captain Nail Yakupov, forwards Mikhail Grigorenko, Nikita Kucherov, Alexander Khokhlachev, and Yaroslav Kosov, defensive leaders Nikita Nesterov and Albert Yarullin, and the goaltending tandem of Andrei Vasilevski and Andrei Makarov. This year’s team did not dominate opponents like in 2011 or 2012. Russia was outshot in all but one game and all of its victory were only by one goal, other than a 7-0 routing of Germany. A 4-1 loss to Canada in a highly anticipated match on New Year’s Eve meant that Russia finished second in its round-robin group and faced the Swiss team in the quarterfinal. Russia was on the verge of a catastrophic finish to the tournament, losing 3-2 to Switzerland, before Kucherov tied the game 3-3 in the dying minutes of the third period. Russia then won the shootout tie-breaker. The semifinal against Sweden also went to a shootout, with Russia losing this time. Russia usually saves its best hockey for elimination games against Canada and this year was no exception. Although the stakes were bronze medals rather than gold, both teams were offensively charged and were unwilling to let the other team dominate. After opening with a 3-1 lead, Russian penalties allowed Canada to catch up. Every subsequent Russian goal was answered by Canada’s attacks. After a 5-5 finish in regulation, the game was sealed early in the second minute of overtime as 17-year old Valeri Nichushkin rushed from Russia’s end to Canada’s and buried the puck in the net to earn Russia a third-place finish. With either of Canada or Russia failing to advance to the final, and with Canada’s 15-year medal streak coming to an end, this tournament has indicated that there are no longer just two favourites at the World Juniors.

Ilya Nikulin

Full name: Ilya Vladimirovich Nikulin
Team: Ak Bars Kazan (KHL)
Number: 5
Position: Defenseman
Height: 6’3”/191 cm
Weight: 215 lbs/98 kg
Born: March 12, 1982 in Moscow, RUS
Drafted: Selected by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2nd round (31st overall) of the 2000 Entry Draft

Strengths: Nikulin has developed into one of Russia’s most skilled and trusted defensemen in both club and international play. He has an imposing presence on the blue line and is an effective powerplay coordinator. Nikulin is a leader on Ak Bars and on the Russian national team.

Weaknesses: As he logs lots of ice time, Nikulin can be prone to making defensive mistakes due to fatigue. Although he is a respected player in Russia, Nikulin has not tried out the NHL and his playing experience on the small-ice remains limited.

Biography: Born and raised in Russia’s capital, Nikulin developed in the Dynamo Moscow hockey school which was known for producing some of Russia’s best defensemen. Ilya played primarily as a stay-at-home blueliner for Dynamo’s farm club in his first few years. He represented Russia at two Under-18 World Championships and was on the silver medal team in 2000. In the same year, he caught the attention of NHL clubs and was the first player drafted in the second round of the NHL entry draft. Nikulin was selected by the Atlanta Thrashers. However, he never joined the club, instead preferring to stay in Russia and blossom into one of Dynamo’s most reliable players. In 2005, Dynamo became the Russian Superleague’s playoff champions. Ilya continued his career with Ak Bars Kazan – one of the perennially most consistent and dangerous teams in Russian hockey. Kazan won the league championship in Nikulin’s first year there. With each subsequent season with Ak Bars, Nikulin’s icetime increased and he became the team’s go-to defenseman in all situations, including on the powerplay and penalty-killing. In 2008, Nikulin came close to leaving to the NHL to play for the Thrashers, but decided to remain with Ak Bars in the newly-formed KHL. His team won the KHL’s Gagarin Cup in the league’s first playoffs in 2009, and again in 2010.  In recent years, Nikulin also became one of the KHL’s top-scoring defenders. His slapshot has infuriated numerous playoff opponents. Each year since 2006, Ilya has played for Russia at the World Championships. He was on the gold-winning teams of 2008, 2009, and 2012. Nikulin captained the 2012 and 2013 teams. He also played in the 2010 Olympics.
