A proud bronze medallist at the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, he later captained the Soviet national team and led his side to a silver medal at the 1983 European Championships and a fourth-place finish at the 1986 World Championships.
His contribution to hockey extended beyond his playing career, including his work as a coach with Dynamo Almaty and his involvement with hockey in Kazakhstan.
His legacy, leadership and contribution to the sport will always be remembered. 🏑💐
Heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, teammates and the entire hockey community. May his soul rest in peace. 🕊️
