At first, the young Gusev studied to stay on ice in the figure skating section, but when he saw the peers, chasing the washer, caught fire with hockey. Parents injured the request of the Son and transferred White Bears to the Hockey Club.
The first coach of Nikita - Gennady Kurdin - scored the team in the fall, and Guseva led to the New Year. The mentor agreed to see the novice and immediately realized that the real "playing" was hit to him - the yurch, with a lightning reaction, gambling. At the skates of Gusev, he kept confidently - the preparation in the figure skating section was affected.
Later, Nikita admitted that the first coach gave him an excellent base, he taught everything.

Nikita Gusev now

When 55 seconds remained until the end of the game, and the Germans led with a score of 2-3, Nikita Gusev saved the team from the defeat, to bring it into overtime. Already in addition, the Russians took advantage of the situation and scored a decisive washer, the author of which became Cyril Caprises. Russian national team for the first time in the last 26 years won the title of Olympic champion.
In May 2018, the World Hockey Championship in Denmark took place. True, the Forward of the Russian national team Nikita Gusev missed the first matches due to injury.

Many experts believe that Gusev is obliged to try his hand in the strongest League of the world, then they do not see the move on with relocation. And the hockey player himself has repeatedly expressed his desire to play NHL. But to such a fateful decision of Nikita approaches the "cold" head.

They predict that at the end of the 2018/2019 season, not only Gusev will leave Russia from Russia. And the fact that Nikita will not remain in SKA, there is no doubt.
At the end of August, Gusev took part in a charitable hockey match as part of the action "from the pure heart."
