Biography
Andrei Sckownikov is one of the most promising and talented Russian new generation hockey players. In the summer of 2018, he was trusted by Carolina Harrickyeins in the second general position, and at the beginning of the fall scored the first washer in the framework of the new club. The guy himself compares himself with Marian Hosss and Evgeny Kuznetsov.Childhood and youth
The candles Andrei Igorevich was born on March 26, 2000 in the city of Barnaul Altai Territory. However, the young man moved three times together with his parents for the prospects for joining the best hockey players in Russia and the world - first to the Moscow region, then in Kazan and only in 2016 in the American city of Maskigon Michigan. His older brother Eugene since childhood was engaged in a similar sport.
Before entering the school "Ak Barsa", Andrei went along with his brother for watching in Balashikha, where he spent the whole season. In the capital of Tatarstan, the guy was a few years and during this time managed to win the Olympics, as well as get the championship of Russia in its age category. The candles successfully showed themselves as the captain of the team "Ak Bars - 2000".
One of the best players of the expected Draft NHL from the young years was different from the peers, but he spent a single match for the main composition of AK Barsa. Also, a guy who immediately moved over the ocean immediately after graduation, it was not possible to play in NHL, nor in MHL.
Hockey fans were surprised to find out that the Russian junior instead of a stronger Canadian Chl League preferred American Ushl. One of the reasons was that the 16-year-old young man because of the age limit was not able to sign a contract with the Canadian team. Another reason why Andrei preferred the Muskegon Lumberjacks Club was that his brother was playing in the city, located in an hour from his place of residence.
Hockey
The signed contract with Muskegon Lumberjacks in the late spring of 2016 became the beginning of the professional biography of Svetochnikov. As part of the main hockey junior league of the United States, a talented young man got the title of the best scorer and a novice league, playing 48 games and gaining 58 points.In 2017, the athlete moved to the Junior League of Ontario, which was in Canada, and became the first number of the Chl Barrie Colts draft. As part of the team, Andrei again showed impressive results - 52 matches and 83 points. Even before the launch of the season, the Central Intelligence NHL rated his professional skills as extremely promising, giving a positive assessment of the riding and the feeling of the washer, and called the younger candidate for first place.
The feature of the style of the candle is that he has no single positive quality, he absorbs all and gradually. The young man is not the most bright player, but at the same time can do almost everything on the field. Andrei clogs a lot of goals and in parallel with this presents itself as a removable dispatcher. The athlete is physically developed and useful in the minority, which absolutely does not reduce its significance. Some are even called the candlestone the standard of modern hockey player.
Andrei went to his debut MOHM in the sports career of Andrei. This has become a rather unexpected decision, given the principle of coach Valery Bragin to carry an exclusively adult and experienced staff to the world championships. As an example: only one player was present at Buffalo-2011, who did not cross the face of the maximum permissible age, Evgeny Kuznetsov. Therefore, the fact that Valery Nikolayevich chose a young people to the world championship, who for 2 years younger peers means one thing - he has a weighty talent.
Andrei became the second exception to the "youth". At the tournament in Buffalo, he was satisfied with a smaller time than other forts of the Russian national team ever, almost did not appear in most, but even under such conditions managed to divide the title of the second team scorer. The junior candles played much better than his brother, two years previously played in the CCMM without one points, but, like Eugene, did not manage to check at least one goal.
Andrei, by all means, denying his star and claiming that it is still not worthy of space in the composition for the season, still perceived by "Carolina Harrickyeins" as a bright prospect for the club. Its photos are depicted on the avenues and on the capital pages of the official site. The guy praises the head coach of Brindore.
Despite all this, the candles remains a simple modest Russian guy with a complete lack of arrogance or vanity, for him the main word is now working. American journalists say that after one of the recent interviews, he first asked: "Well, how, I answered everything well?". And the second overall number of the draft and contract with "Carolina" did not change this attitude.
Personal life
A young athlete does not consider it necessary to devote the public to the details of his personal life. He does not tell in the press about his girls and current relations, preferring to discuss professional progress. The only thing is exactly known - the candlestick has no wife and children.
Like any other modern guy, he is an active user of the Social Network "Instagram". Andrei's growth is 188 cm, weight - 88 kg. The basic salary of the Russian athlete at the NHL level is $ 832.5 thousand per season, at the AHL level - 70 thousand.
