“The last season at Vityaz ended sadly” – Yezhov

Salavat Yulaev goalkeeper Ilya Yezhov believes that the previous season with Vityaz did not end well for him.

Yezhov’s move to Salavat was announced on May 5.

– Leaving Vityaz for leading players, including Shvets-Rogovoy, Makeev and Semin? They were good friends and hockey players. The team was built, but it turned out the way it happened. This is hockey. You have to come to terms with this. My task was to catch the puck – a very simple job, it didn’t work out to the end.

And last year – I can say, yes, everyone knows this, there was an injury, she personally let me down a little bit. I didn’t expect this, I still don’t know what it was, I was a little confused, I had never had such a serious injury before. I thought it was some trifle, I tried to play through the pain, but there were cumulative pains. As a result, he could no longer go on the ice. So my last season at Vityaz ended sadly.

Now I have been recovering all summer and have recovered 100%. With new emotions and new forces, I go into battle in a new team, with a new team, new personnel, ”Championship” quotes Yezhov as saying.

Last season, Yezhov played for Vityaz near Moscow, in which he played 32 matches in the KHL regular season, in which the team won 6 victories. He saved 91.3% of shots and had a 2.76 safety factor.

Yezhov is the owner of the Gagarin Cup in the 2014/15 season as part of SKA.
