Died the father of the famous Russian hockey player and Stanley Cup winner Evgeny Kuznetsov

In the family of Russian hockey player Yevgeny Kuznetsov, a tragic event occurred. At the 61st year of life, the father of the striker died, who in 2018 became the owner of the Stanley Cup along with the Washington Capitals. The death of the man was reported by the mother of the athlete Larisa Kuznetsova in his social networks.

Earlier, on October 2, it became known that the forward appealed to the leadership of Novosibirsk Siberia with a request to terminate the contract ahead of schedule. The reason for this decision was the serious health of his father. For the Novosibirsk team, the 34-year-old hockey player managed to hold eight meetings, gaining four points - two goals and two assists.

Before playing for Siberia, Kuznetsov defended the colors of Magnitogorsk Metallurg and Ufa Salavat Yulaev. In the previous regular championship of the KHL, the striker earned 27 points in 34 matches, and in seven games of the playoffs added two more scores to his statistics.

Kuznetsov was best known for his performances in North America. In 2010, he was chosen by Washington under the overall 26th number of the NHL draft, and four years later the Russian made his debut for the capital club. In 2018, he helped the team win the Stanley Cup. Later, the forward played for Carolina, and after returning to Russia spent the season in St. Petersburg SKA.
