The reason to remember the star wives and girlfriends of Russian hockey players was the loss of the status of “free agent” by one of the best players of the Russian national team at the home world championship, Artemy Panarin. At the start of the tournament, his heart was free. The hockey player himself spoke about this, complaining about his poor English, which does not allow him to flirt with girls in America.

The player expressed the hope that during his visit to Russia he would be able to meet someone. It was successful, and not with just anyone, but with the daughter of the head coach of the Russian national hockey team Oleg Znarka, beautiful model Alice.

The couple declassified their relationship during a party at which our national team celebrated winning bronze medals at the home championship. The hugging lovers were caught in the sights of the paparazzi. It is not yet known how Oleg Znarok reacted to the relationship between his 23-year-old daughter and his 24-year-old ward in the national team, but, whatever his reaction, she, apparently, was unable to prevent the romance.

Pelagia

Literally on the eve of the start of the World Championship, it became known about another addition to the regiment of star darlings of Russian hockey players. His romance with the striker of CSKA Moscow and the national team Ivan Telegin famous singer declassified Pelagia. At the tournament itself, in the stands, she passionately supported the team and, of course, her new boyfriend.

But their romance is not the most pleasant story. It turned out that the relationship between the 29-year-old singer and the 24-year-old hockey player began at a time when the common-law wife of the CSKA player was eight months pregnant. Soon she gave birth to Telegin’s first child, Mark. But when the baby was born, his dad was already with another woman.

Daria Dmitrieva

Hockey players are known to love gymnasts, with whom fate brings them together at the same training base in Novogorsk - there they meet and fall in love. Such relationships do not always last long. But there are also exceptions. As an example - a novel Alexandra Radulova and silver medalist of the London Olympics, four-time world champion, rhythmic gymnast Daria Dmitrieva.

Sasha and Dasha met when the gymnast’s friend invited her to the cinema and invited her friend Alexander there. The feelings appeared immediately. They intensified even more after Radulov helped the girl with the treatment of her sick mother. Soon the hockey player invited the girl to live together in his rented apartment in Moscow. And in August 2015 the wedding took place.

Evgenia Kanaeva

A similar story connected Evgeniy Kanaev With Igor Musatov. She is one of the most titled rhythmic gymnasts in the history of world sports. She has two Olympic medals, 17 world championship gold medals, 13 European championship gold medals and nine more gold medals from two different Universiades. He is an average player, known only for his hooligan antics outside the ice arena.

No one knows how the hockey player, known for his drunken brawls and constant fights, and the famous gymnast met. They say that there were no witnesses. It is only known that this significant event took place in 2011 and is unlikely to happen in Novogorsk. Since then, the lovers spend all their free time with each other. And in 2012 it became known about their wedding.

Elena Dementieva

Another sports couple - Elena Dementieva And Maxim Afinogenov. She is an Olympic tennis champion, he is an Olympic bronze medalist and world champion. The girl has already completed her career, and the hockey player is long past her peak. But the couple is still together - they live a happy family life.

The young people met in 2004, when Maxim and his friends, in their free time from hockey, flew to Paris for the Grand Slam tournament to cheer for Russian tennis players. In one of the restaurants, he came face to face with a girl whom he often supported while sitting in front of the TV. It was Elena Dementieva. The relationship began when everyone together in a large company in a restaurant celebrated the “Russian” final, in which Elena lost Anastasia Myskina.

Maria Butyrskaya

The younger generation of sports fans may not know Maria Butyrskaya, but experienced fans will definitely remember the girl who became the first Russian world figure skating champion in women's singles. In addition, she won gold medals at the European Championships, silver at the Universiade and Grand Prix finals.

In 2006, the girl got married to a hockey player Vadim Khomitsky, who at that time played for CSKA Moscow. He was ten years younger than her, but this did not stop the romance. A year later, the couple had a son, Vladislav, and in 2009, their daughter Alexandra was born. Now Vadim continues to play hockey - as a defenseman in the Sochi club.

Nicole Ambrazaitis

This concludes the list of famous wives and girlfriends of hockey players associated with sports, and we return to where we started with Pelageya - to the stars of Russian show business. First in line is the ex-soloist of the group “Mirage” Nicole Ambrazaitis. The girl owes her current family happiness and a friendly family in which four children are growing up to her singing career.

One of the most famous Russian hockey players today, forward for SKA St. Petersburg Ilya Kovalchuk, then still a young player, fell in love with Nicole on TV when he first saw her in the video of the Mirage group. Later, one of their friends introduced them. No one thought that the novel would change the hockey player’s whole life, and that a passing hobby would become the fate of his whole life.

Lera Kudryavtseva

One of the most amazing pairs of Russian hockey is the forward of CSKA Moscow Igor Makarov and famous socialite Lera Kudryavtseva. What's surprising about this couple? Age difference. 45-year-old Lera is 17 years older than her 28-year-old chosen one. The hockey player is only three years older than Kudryavtseva’s first son, Zhan, whom she gave birth to from her first marriage to a member of the “Tender May” group. Sergei Lenyuk.

The hockey player came into the girl’s life by chance, but just in time, when she needed support. He, according to Lera herself, radically changed her. The wedding took place in 2013, just a few months after the couple started dating.

Yulia Nachalova

There were scandals in the love story of another Russian hockey player Alexandra Frolova and show business stars, singers Yulia Nachalova. The romance between the two stars became known in 2011, when the striker played for the legendary American club New York Rangers, and the girl went to the USA to record her new album. Apparently, the athlete and the singer met there.

The problem was that from the United States the girl called every day to her unsuspecting husband, who was babysitting their little daughter while the album was being recorded. The husband, by the way, just like Frolov, was a famous athlete, only not a hockey player, but a football player. His name was Evgeniy Aldonin and he played for CSKA Moscow and the Russian national team.

The player's girlfriend wants to live in a cool city in the USA, regardless of her career as a hockey player. It will be sad if everything Artemy worked towards goes to waste.

Who is she?

Hockey player of the Russian national team, Olympic champion Artemy Panarin, during the World Championships in Moscow, became close to Alisa Znarok, the daughter of Oleg Znarok, who at that time headed the national team. Alisa is a famous Russian model from Latvia who leads a bohemian lifestyle, and Panarin was one of the most eligible bachelors in Russian hockey. Artemy was playing in the NHL by that time, had a brilliant season in Chicago, and his career was only going up. He scored 77 points in 80 matches, received the championship's best rookie award, and everything was great for him. This is a pretty cute couple. Usually no one prys into the personal lives of hockey players, but only as long as this personal life does not run counter to their career interests. Moreover, with the interests of Russian hockey.

What's happening?

Panarin spent one more season in Chicago, and then he was unexpectedly traded. There were no gaming problems. This is a business matter, but it is already clear that the Chicago Eagles made a big mistake. They understood that Panarin would only progress, which means that in a couple of seasons he would demand a steep contract, and they simply did not wait for the moment when they would have to look for money for Artemy. As a result, Chicago lost very much because of this trade. They used to be considered Stanley Cup contenders, and last season they didn't even make the playoffs. Yes, they had problems with goalkeepers, but the absence of a player like Artemy had a big impact.

Panarin spent the season in Columbus. He scored 89 points in 87 matches, became a truly serious force in the league, and in a year his contract was expiring. The Blue Jackets were already preparing an offer, realizing that such a hockey player would ask for approximately eight million dollars for eight years, but the club was ready for this.

Problems

Instead of making contact with the club, Panarin said that he was not yet going to discuss the possibility of extending the contract. At first it was seen as a reasonable bargain to get the club to seriously consider the amount, but then it turned out that he simply did not want to play in Columbus. And he is not even going to consider the option with this club.

There could be many reasons for such a decision, and the city began to think about what didn’t suit Panarin. Yes, John Tortorella is a rather specific coach, but he did not touch Panarin and allowed him to do everything on the ice. Tortorella is a proponent of power hockey. At the last World Cup, he led the US team and abandoned several masters in favor of hard workers. The team failed, and the coach realized something for himself. After that experience, he did not interfere with Artemy’s tactics at all, constantly encouraging him.

The club also treated Artemy kindly, believing that he could become a franchise. A person who will be the face of the team for many years to come. Weak team? It is quite possible that Columbus is not the main contender for the Stanley Cup, but it is certainly not a dismal underdog. And the example of “Vegas” last year proved that anyone can lay claim to the main trophy. So what's the deal?

Causes

Everything became clear when Artemy made it clear that he would like to play in a club based in a big city. Three places were named where the player would be happy to go - New York, Miami and Los Angeles. And then it became clear that it was not Artemy who wanted this, but his girlfriend Alisa Znarok, who was comfortable hanging out in these places, regardless of Panarin’s career.

This is not the first time Panarin’s new family interferes with his career. Let us remind you that Artemy missed the last world championship only because his mother-in-law, the wife of the former head coach of the national team Oleg Znark, wanted it. She screwed Panarin, and he refused to go to Denmark, inventing some kind of injury. Previously, Panarin happily came to the national team, but then he decided not to go to the tournament, seriously affecting the interests of the team.

This could all go too far. Of course, the Rangers, based in New York, immediately made it clear that they were ready to enter the fight for Panarin, but this club is now being rebuilt and one should not expect good results from them. Panarin forgets that Columbus can exchange a hockey player, regardless of the player’s opinion, if he understands that he is not going to connect his career with them. And such an exchange could be detrimental to Panarin.

If things continue like this, we may witness the collapse of Panarin as a player.

Artemy Sergeevich Panarin, according to most sports experts, is one of the most promising hockey players. There is an opinion that in the near future Artemy has every chance to firmly establish himself in the Russian national team. The hockey player’s biography, despite his age, is quite rich.

Childhood

In 1991, on October 30, in the Chelyabinsk region, in the town of Korkino, a future hockey player was born. The parents decided to send the boy to sports and discussed for a long time where exactly. The choice fell on hockey. As the athlete himself recalls, as a child he did not like to attend training - he constantly cried and did not want to go anywhere.

The boy's professional career began at the age of 7. At this age, the hockey player played for the Chelyabinsk Traktor club. At the age of 10, young Panarin left his home for a sports boarding school. In 2004, he transferred to the Signal sports school. The boy did not stay there long; scouts from Vityaz noticed the nimble player. Panarin subsequently moved to Vityaz Podolsk.

The hockey player played in youth matches until 2008. Already in 2009, the teenager was included in the team’s application for the championship.

Parents and relatives

His family was not wealthy. The boy's parents were simple working people. In the 90s, Sergei Panarin and his wife did not want their son to get involved with bad company. The grandfather of the hockey player, Vladimir Ilyich Levin, who played hockey in the past, suggested sending his grandson to the section. Artemy claims that it was thanks to his grandfather that he got to SKA, and it was to him that Panarin owes everything.

The grandfather prophesied a sports career first for his son, but it didn’t work out for him. Artemy recalls that his mother and grandmother were against such a busy schedule, but his grandfather did not give up. Even in retirement, Vladimir Ilyich could not sit still; he worked part-time to take his grandson to training. The hockey player’s grandmother sold milk and eggs to summer residents. Artemy took all his cups, medals and first puck to his grandfather. The hockey player believes that the trophies should be kept by Vladimir Ilyich.

Career

Panarin made his serious debut at the age of 17. He played in five matches. At that moment, everyone noted the young player’s assist. After consulting, the coaches decided not to let the guy out on the ice anymore in order to prevent overwork.

In 2009, Panarin joined the main roster of the Russian Knights on a regular basis. There he showed high performance as a forward, scoring twenty-one goals and making thirty-two assists during the season. In the major and youth leagues during the championship in 1010-2011, the young forward’s performance dropped slightly. It was at this time that Artemy began to be noticed more and more often in the KHL.

In 2011-2012, Panarin briefly returned to his native club, but the young man still left for Ak Bars. There he was unable to prove himself, scoring only one goal in twelve games. At the age of 21, in one season Panarin had a series of successful games at his native club, for which he was sent to SKA in St. Petersburg.

In subsequent years, Artemy will significantly expand his professional portfolio:

2013−2014 - 20 goals (51 appearances on the ice);
2015 - 26 goals, 32 assists (54 games).

In 2015, Artemiy Panarin left for the USA, where he signed a contract with Chicago Balkhorst. The hockey player managed to play for the Russian national team. This happened in 2011. Artemy brought home a gold medal from the World Youth Championship. They scored 5 goals and made 2 professional assists. The athlete's height is 178 cm and weight is 84 kg.

Now the hockey player plays for the Columbus Blue Jackets and lives in two countries: Chicago (USA) and Russia. Player position: left winger.

Social networks and personal life

Despite his busy schedule and busy life, Artemy finds time to communicate with his fans. The personal pages of a promising hockey player can be found on such popular social networks as:

In contact with.
Instagram.
Twitter.

More than 300 thousand people follow Artemy Panarin on Instagram. Fans closely follow the personal life and career success of their favorite athlete. Artemy admits that he tries not to upset his followers and delight them with news and new photos.

Today Artemy is not married. He doesn't have any children yet either. The hockey player is in a relationship with the daughter of the famous coach Oleg Znarka. Girl Artemia, Alisa Znarok, fashion model. The guy sought the beauty’s favor for a long time, spending all his free time from training next to her.

Artemy’s friends said that Znarok had been looking for a young man for a long time who would make a worthy match for his daughter.

Achievements

Over the 26 years of his life, Artemy, according to statistics, has many achievements; in 2015, in the KHL, as part of SKA, he won the Gagarin Cup in team competitions. In the international format as part of the Russian team:

2011 - Winner of the World Youth Championship;
2015 - silver at the World Cup:
2016−2017 - bronze at the World Championships.

As part of the Chicago Balkhorst team, Panarin added several personal achievements to his treasury. In 2016, he received the title of “Calder Pro”, and the athlete was also included in the NHL rookie team. In 2017, the hockey player was named to the second All-Star team.

In the KHL in 2015, as part of SKA, Artemy won the Golden Helmet, in the same year the athlete achieved the “Progress of the Season” achievement.

In 2017, as part of the national team, R. F. Panarin was recognized as the best scorer and best striker of the World Cup.

Sports news. Behind the scenes of sports

Is it true that Artemy Panarin is Oleg Znarok’s son-in-law?

The Russian national team successfully competes at the World Hockey Championship, which takes place in Cologne.

This week we will see the denouement - the playoffs and the possible final Russia - Canada. Everyone is waiting for this! Our man works in Germany and provides a special report from the scene.

It’s boring to talk about the game itself; the entire sports press writes about it. In a nutshell: by Monday, the Russian team remained the only team in the tournament that had not suffered a single defeat at the World Cup. The team led by Oleg Znark has already reached the playoffs, but this does not mean anything. As soon as you lose the quarterfinals to some Finns, all dogs will immediately be unleashed on the Russian team.

SAUSAGE FOR A SIGN

It’s much more interesting to talk about the behind-the-scenes of the main tournament, which the whole country is watching. For example, an interesting dialogue took place between Oleg Znarok and one of the journalists who always pokes his nose into different stories.

Znarok leaves the press conference hall and stops at a catering point where journalists buy food for themselves. The head coach of the Russian national team was hungry after the victory over Slovakia (6:0). He orders himself a large sausage and bun.

Why are you buying our food? - the journalist says arm in arm. - It's here only for the press, at reduced prices. Are you the press?

Here Znarok explodes and starts shouting that there is no need to count other people’s money and there were times when he fed a whole family of four with 50 lats a month.

It's a thing of the past now. Znarok earns good money by combining posts in the Russian national team and SKA. At the same time, they say he is owed money by Dynamo Moscow, where he worked before. There was a decent amount hanging there, because Dynamo funding problems arose again.

WHY DIDN'T OVECHKIN ARRIVE?

Everyone also asks whether it’s true that Znarka’s daughter, Alisa, is dating national team hockey player Artemy Panarin?

Yes, this is the absolute truth. They have been together for over a year now. But they are not married. So don’t rush to say that Panarin is Znarok’s son-in-law.

Another question was sent to the editor: why Washington captain Alexander Ovechkin did not come to the World Cup. Are there any pitfalls here? They say he has some kind of conflict with Znarok?

No, that's not true. They are great friends. But after the NHL playoffs, a photo of Ovechkin’s leg appeared on the Internet. There is a hematoma on the entire ankle. It’s strange how he was even able to play hockey with such an injury. It is clear why Alexander refused. Although Znarok wanted to invite him to the World Championships even in this state. Ovechkin just said he couldn’t play - that’s all.

But there seems to be a conflict between Znarok and Evgeni Malkin. The head coach said that if Washington had advanced further to the playoffs, three CSKA players would have been included in the team's roster - Nichushkin, Kaprizov, Naumenkov. At the same time, the brilliant Evgeni Malkin was not mentioned. Zhenya is offended that despite his star status, Znarok sometimes underestimates him.

TELEVISION PEOPLE “ARE HANGING”

As for the World Cup, strange things are happening. The tournament takes place in two countries - France and Germany. Actors in Paris failed to shake up their audience. Few spectators attended hockey there, and besides, the French team did not make it to the playoffs.

And the security guards got so crazy that they banned the sale of souvenir pucks in Paris. Because some attacker could take it and throw it on the ice during a match, having previously filled it with explosives. This is how they fear terrorist attacks in France.

It's a completely different story in Cologne. You can sell anything here. And it’s easy to enter the arena almost without being searched. One journalist arrived at the stadium straight from the train with a huge suitcase. They didn't even bother to inspect him! Amazing frivolity.

At the same time, the ice quality in Cologne is very poor. Due to the heat and poor performance of the refrigeration unit, the coating melts, and hockey players must pull pucks out of puddles during the match. The break between periods turns out to be prolonged because the site has to be re-filled. TV people who have a rigid network are “hung” from this.

If you look at the tournament bracket, Russia will meet one of the trio in the quarterfinals - Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic. The alignment will be known late on Tuesday evening. But overall the tournament is turning out to be colorful, and we have a chance for gold.

Artemy Panarin

Professional hockey player from Russia, left winger. He plays for the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League. A graduate of Chelyabinsk hockey, he later studied at the Vityaz school, for which he made his debut in the KHL in the 2008/2009 season. He played for the team until 2012, when he was traded to Ak Bars Kazan. At the end of the championship he returned to Vityaz.

In January 2013, he moved to SKA St. Petersburg, where two years later he won the Gagarin Cup. That same year, he signed a two-year contract with the NHL club Chicago Blackhawks. However, he did not participate in the NHL rookie draft.

Artemy performed well in his debut championship and with 77 points in 80 matches was recognized as the best rookie of the season. At the end of 2016, he signed a new two-year contract worth $12 million with Chicago, but was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on June 23, 2017.

Panarin played for Columbus until the summer of 2019, when he signed a seven-year agreement with the New York Rangers for $81.5 million as a free agent.

As a member of the Russian youth hockey team, he won the 2011 World Championship. As a member of the main team, he became a silver medalist in 2015 and a bronze medalist in 2016-2017.

Artemi Panarin: highlights

The 2016/2017 NHL season was the last for the Russian striker as part of Chicago. In connection with Panarin’s transfer to Columbus, fans have prepared a selection of the best moments with Arseny’s participation in the completed championship.
