STARTED ON SKATES IN THREE YEARS.
We continue to present Molot-Prikamye players who joined the club in the new season. Today the conversation will go with striker Alexander Neznamov.
Dossier: Alexander Neznamov. (03/06/1986). Position - striker. Pupil of the sports school SKA (St. Petersburg). Played for: SKA (St. Petersburg), Lokomotiv (Yaroslavl), HC Lipetsk (Lipetsk), Diesel (Penza), Khimik (Voskresensk), Neftyanik (Almetievsk), HC VMF (St. Petersburg). In HC "Molot-Prikamye" he plays at number 34. He is not married.
- Alexander, the first question is traditional: when and where did you start skating?
My father played hockey, and he put me on skates early. At the age of 3, I already learned to ride, and it gradually dragged on (smiles). I took my first steps on the ice in the yard. Well, then I was sent to the SKA sports school. The first coach was Evgeny Olegovich Tabolkin.
- Have you grown to a team of masters in St. Petersburg?
No, at the age of 12 I left for Yaroslavl, and I continued my hockey education there. In Lokomotiv, he failed to gain a foothold in the main team. I went to Canada for the junior league. Skated there for two years. Then he returned and played for two years on loan in the Major League, in Lipetsk and Penza. Then fate threw me into the Resurrection Khimik. And the next year, an option arose to gain a foothold in the SKA main team, but for non-hockey reasons it did not work out. He spent most of the season at the SKA farm club - HC VMF, then played in Almetyevsk. And last year he returned to Voskresensk, that's basically all.
- Was last season the most successful in your career so far?
Yes, it probably is. ( Alexander scored 37 points in a season 25+12 - approx. auth.) We have a good team. But to reach, say, the finals of the Major League or medals, "Chemist" was not allowed financial problems.
- Are you monitoring your performance?
I'd probably be lying if I said no. Each player monitors performance. But, of course, it should be for the benefit of the team. If the team wins, it's nice that you score points and help. And if not, then no one needs these glasses.
- How did you end up in Perm?
Before this season, I was in the Yugra training camp, but I failed to gain a foothold in the squad. We had to look for a team. "Hammer" offered me to move here, I agreed.
- Did you quickly get used to Perm?
Yes. I live here alone, I rent an apartment. Family - parents and sister, in St. Petersburg. We have little free time: training, games, moving, so there is no time to be bored. It didn't take long to find mutual understanding in the team. Partners are great. It remains only for us to add to the effectiveness. Score more. Fans, after all, expect this from us. Well, I think everything will be all right.
- Yes, the fans in Perm are demanding...
- … and well versed in hockey. There are few such cities in the VHL where people get sick like that. It's nice. I would like to see less criticism from the stands, not booing. But I understand that we do not need to create reasons for criticism.
Nevertheless, Perm hockey fans have already noted you. Fans, after the away victory over Lada, where you scored two goals and gave an assist, hung a banner in Molot - “Neznamov - thanks for Togliatti” ...
I was very surprised. The banner was put up at the first home game I played in Hammer uniform. It was a match with the Navy, and then we didn’t play very well ... But, it was nice that they noted it that way. The banner was given to me, and I keep it at home.
- Are there any moments in your career that can be said to be engraved in your memory for life?
So far there are none. I did not score any memorable goals that, say, would help to win something serious. There are no trophies.
- What tasks does the hockey player Alexander Neznamov set for himself?
I want to play at the highest level. With the "Hammer" to win the VHL. And score in every match.

When the fans of HC Rubin found out that SP was preparing an interview with striker Alexander Neznamov, the editors were bombarded with questions. And although Alexander, as he himself admits, does not really like to talk about himself, having learned that the questions will come from fans of the Tyumen hockey, he gladly agreed to a meeting.
The conversation with one of Rubin's best forwards took place a few days after the defeat of the Tyumen team in the main championship of the Major Hockey League - Rubin lost the Bratina Cup to the Karaganda team in the sixth match of the final series, so it is not surprising that the first question was about the confrontation with " Saryarka" from Kazakhstan.
- Alexander, the team fought so hard in the final, what was still not enough to win?
- Good luck. In the final games, we were catastrophically unlucky. And the realization of the chances let us down - we created a lot of sharp attacks at the opponent's goal, but, alas, we could not convert them. Why this happened, I honestly don't know. Perhaps influenced by a number of negative factors that occurred during the final. The referees made a serious mistake, I'm sure it affected the course of the series. But there is no point in talking about it now. Whatever sanctions are applied to the chief arbiter, the result of the game will remain the same.
- There was a very tense fight in the final, and before leaving for Karaganda, everyone understood that this match could be decisive in the battle for Bratina. What was more difficult before the last game: mentally prepared or prepared physically, because it was already the 6th meeting?
- Morally it was more difficult. The meeting took place after a home defeat, as a result of which we were inferior in the series. And the fans drove forward, I didn’t want to let them down, and even upset myself. And physically we were ready, I think it was clear from the game that no one even thought about fatigue.
- With the final, everything is relatively clear, but how do you evaluate the season as a whole?
— Unsatisfactory. How else? We did not fulfill any of the tasks set: in the regular season we took only 3rd place, lost to Bratin. The season was interesting and bright, but we did not achieve our goals.
- In continuation of the conversation about the past season: the most memorable and amazing referee you have met?
We have already talked about this man today. Mr. Lavrentyev, who did not count the puck in the fifth match, will be remembered by us for a long time. In general, refereeing in the VHL leaves much to be desired - many mistakes are made. But if in the regular season you can close your eyes to this, then in the playoffs these oversights are expensive. During the three years that I spent in Tyumen, I noticed one very interesting fact- most of the controversial issues are resolved for some reason not in favor of Rubin. I don’t know why the Tyumen club didn’t please the referees of the Major Hockey League, but we are constantly faced with refereeing problems.
- What can you say about the work of Miskhat Fakhrutdinov, are there good relations between the head coach and the team?
- We have a good coach, and he does his job well. Before each game, depending on the opponent, we get different instructions, individual tasks, watch the video, analyze everything in detail. I have no complaints about the coaching staff, and never have. And these are not just words, everything is really just that. I believe that Miskhat Kashafutdinovich copes with his duties. Somehow I heard reproaches addressed to him that he, they say, he communicates little with the players, but this is not so. When some words are really needed, our coach skillfully selects them and always hits the mark. And so he does everything right: during breaks you need to rest, especially mentally, you don’t need to stuff your head with something.
- Many players set specific goals for the season: the number of goals scored, points scored, utility factor. Do you have such goals, and what are they for next season?
- Yes, every hockey player always sets himself certain tasks and carefully monitors his statistics, believe me. Even if he says he isn't, he's probably lying. I will keep my personal aspirations to myself, I will only say one thing - I want to score more points next season and benefit my team.
- How did you come to hockey: was it the choice of your parents or your own initiative? At what age did you first skate?
- Everything is simple here - my father played hockey, not professionally, though, but he still loves this sport very much. In the very early age he put me on skates and taught me how to skate. Dad was always very attentive to my studies - he followed my successes and failures, supported me, and I am grateful to him for this. Every day we went to the skating rink, trained. For this it used to be more possibilities- almost at every step there were open areas that were flooded in winter, now there are practically none. We constantly skated with the guys in the yard, threw the puck, played combinations. And it didn't matter who could play, who couldn't, big companies always gathered and had fun. And at the age of 5 I already came to the SKA school, where I learned to play for real. I can’t say that everything worked out right away, but gradually I trained step by step and here is the result.
- Who and what inspires you - creatively, spiritually, emotionally?
- My family. Family and friends always inspire me. And my future family, of course. Everything that I do in my life: I play, I work - it's all for them.
Have you ever thought about quitting hockey? What would you do then?
— No, there was never such a thought. And I don’t know where I would be if not for sports. Probably, some cool businessman turned out of me (laughs), but I can’t even imagine in what area. Didn't think about it. Although after the end of my career, most likely, I will do something completely unrelated to hockey, but it's too early to think about it.
- Your game number is 17. Does it symbolize something?
“Contrary to popular belief, my number means nothing. It just so happened since childhood that I always played under number 17. Growing up, I wanted to keep this tradition alive. When I was younger, this was not always possible - the older guys on the team did not give it away - everyone probably knows that number 17 is popular among hockey players. But now, due to my age, this number remains with me, and now I don’t give it to anyone.
- Then maybe there is a stick or a puck that is especially dear to you?
- There is no such thing either. I know that many hockey players keep such attributes, give them great importance but this story is not about me. I'm somehow philosophical about this, or something - after all, these are just things.
- But do you have any sign that you observe before the matches?
There is a sign, but I won't tell you. That's why it's personal - let it stay with me.
- Well, then let's talk about technique, very often hockey players work hard on the throw, which component do you pay special attention to in training?
- Throw, just not my strongest feature. In general, I try to pay attention to all components, to develop from all sides. I am working hard on the throw, it may be too late, but I do not give up.
- And the most joyful victory this year?
- Now, if Bratina had been won, then yes. And so everything went smoothly, gradually. In principle, we always have a goal to win, especially since Rubin is a strong and experienced team. So, in our country, victory is perceived as a normal phenomenon; if we win, it should be so. But losing is always very sad, no one likes defeat, it can’t do without frustration.
- How to cope with the mood after defeats?
— It comes with years, with professional experience. I used to worry after losses, now I take it much more calmly - the game is over, you try to turn off your head, drive away negative thoughts. What's the point of getting upset? You can't turn back time anyway, you need to draw conclusions and move on.
- How do you feel about teammates?
- I treat all the guys very well, we have excellent relationships in the team, good communication. Never had any problems with this. From a professional point of view, I think that very skillful players have been selected in Rubin, all four links play on an equal footing with us. Any combination in a given situation can decide the fate of the match, and that's great. Well, if you get personal, I can single out our captain - Lev Trifanov is a true professional in his field.
- Do you aspire to the KHL or has Rubin become like a family for you, after all, did you spend a single season for the Tyumen club?
Who doesn't aspire? With great joy I would have played for Rubin in the KHL, but now there is neither a stadium nor financial support, so it makes no sense to talk about the entry of the Tyumen club into another league. And of course I want to play in the KHL. But so far, as you can see, it does not work, for various reasons.
Do you support anyone in the KHL or NHL?
- To be honest, I don’t follow other leagues and I don’t root for anyone. During the season, I am completely focused on my games, opponents, championships. Therefore, there is little interest in watching others.
- How do you spend free time what do you like to do?
— I like fishing very much. I don’t get out as often as I would like, but every time I come home to St. Petersburg, I definitely go out into nature. Moreover, Ladoga is nearby, in my opinion, this is the best place. I don't like hunting - I can't kill animals. I don’t understand how you can look into those kind eyes and immediately shoot.
- During the time spent at Rubin, you have become the favorite of many Tyumen residents, do you feel that many in the stands support you?
Yes, it's very nice, actually. Such things cannot be overlooked. If I stay in Tyumen, I will try to continue playing for my fans. I want to thank everyone for their support throughout the season.
- If we talk about the fans in general, how do you feel about the Tyumen public, those people who support the team on the road?
“I have a wonderful attitude, with great respect and gratitude. Especially, there was a very good atmosphere at the games in Karaganda. We were very happy to see our native fans who traveled more than 1000 kilometers by bus to attend the matches. It's great that the guys found the time and energy to support their team, it's very important for us. And at the airport, the Tyumen team arranged a really pleasant surprise for us - we did not expect such a bright meeting after the defeat. But, in general, Tyumen has its own, special, way of cheering and supporting the team. I would like to receive more positive emotions from the fans. Yes, there are certain people who are very worried about you and do not miss matches in the regular season, they accompany you on the road. And we are very grateful to these people, we all see it, feel it and in difficult moments It helps. But it seems to me that our club lacks contact with the stands: we need to attract the public, communicate with the fans. We really need this, because even among the people who go to matches, many have not yet fallen in love with Rubin, as they should. You need to always support your team, rejoice in victories and not turn away in case of failures.
- Often people come up on the street, recognize outside the ice palace?
- Not often, but it happens. They recognize me, sometimes they ask me to take a picture, I never refuse, because I am just as simple a person as everyone else.
The happiness and health of my family is the most important thing. I wish they were all good. I have already said, and I will not tire of repeating, family is the most important thing in life. And the rest doesn't matter. Therefore, I do and will continue to do everything possible for their well-being.
