Alexey Bondarev is an experienced defender

Hockey player Alexei Bondarev for his long career played a lot of games. Not everything was going well with him, but he still continued to fight and achieved great victories. Alexey Bondarev is a hockey player who played in many clubs. Before he became a player in the best league of the country, he had to gain experience in the top division.

The first steps in sports

Alexey Bondarev was born in 1983 in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk. It was in the local hockey school that his long sporting path began. Alexei after the first training fell in love with hockey and nowhere else in my life I have not seen myself again. His first coach was Sergei Gerson - an experienced specialist who did a lot for children.

All his students are very good at talking about their children's coach. If it were not for him, hockey fans and specialists did not learn about many talented hockey players. Sergei Gershonsky immediately transferred Alexei in defense, as he possessed impressive dimensions, quickly selected the puck and had a good throw. Thanks to these qualities, this defender is often released when playing in unequal compositions.

Moving to the children's school "Avangard"

It was with the help of the first coach that many boys managed to become professional hockey players. This mentor from Ust-Kamenogorsk in 1995 brought the most talented children to Omsk. At first they offered to move only to Sergei Gershon, but he put the condition that he was ready to move to Omsk only with his pupils. So, the coach, along with 13 children, went to another club. That they were not afraid of change, had to move to father Golovin. His son also became a professional hockey player and stands for his country's national team.

Bondarev accepted the invitation without hesitation, as the Omsk school annually gives professional teams talented youth. But the athlete's parents for a long time thought about his departure. It is difficult to let go a 12-year-old child for 1000 kilometers. At that time, not all had mobile phones and a computer with the Internet. But still after a while they gave their consent. There was no other choice. Young Alexis needed to develop in hockey, but at home there was no such opportunity.

Performance in the Higher Hockey League

After school, Alexei Bondarev was invited to the second team of Omsk. After playing for two years, he joined the army. There he was in the sports and continued to do his favorite thing. After graduation, he again returned to the team "Omsk Hawks" and stayed there for 2 years. Then Alex began his performance in the teams of the higher league. He is already ripe to play against more experienced players. First, a contract was signed with the Mostovik team. But after a season he moved to Chelyabinsk to speak for the local club "Mechel".

Career in the main domestic league

Alexei's speeches in the top league were convincing, and they became actively interested in specialists from the country's leading teams. In his long career, Bondarev Alexei visited such teams of the Super League: Avangard, Spartak, Lokomotiv, Metallurg, Magnitogorsk, Tractor, CSKA and Neftekhimik.

In the "Tractor" Alexei invited the famous coach Vladimir Belousov. He went to the talented defender at the last moment, when there were already active negotiations with other clubs. The offer of this coach hockey player took immediately. Belousov needed a stable defender with great experience of playing at a high level. Bondarev ideally suited for this role. The decision to move was taken by Alexei because he knew the coach and his future team-mates well. Although the game for "Tractor" was not very developed, this season, Alexei can put himself in the asset.

In none of his clubs he did not stay long. From "Vanguard" and "Spartacus" Alexei Bondarev left after a couple of seasons, but then returned again. Currently, he plays for the hockey team "Spartak", which participates in the largest hockey league in the world. The agreement is valid until 2018.

Statistics and achievements

In total, Bondarev Alexei Andreevich held 551 games in all the championships in Russia. In these matches he managed to score 32 goals and make 108 assists. For the defender, such statistics look quite decent. Of those scoring points in the top league, 17 goals were scored and 51 transfers. All other points this defender has typed in the strongest championship of the country.

His best sports time was in Omsk, where he, along with the team, was among the leaders of the championship. In total, in the hockey club "Vanguard" Lesha spent 5 seasons. For 151 games in Omsk scored 9 goals and made 24 transfers Alexei Bondarev. Defender to win the championship in the club, unfortunately, could not. Nevertheless, in 2005, Omsk "Avangard became the owner of the European Champions Cup." In his drawing, Bondarev played 3 games.

The personal life of an athlete

The wife of this Russian hockey player is called Olesya. She comes from Omsk. Her parents and relatives also live there. Wherever her husband goes, she is always with him. But very often they return to their hometown. A married couple has a daughter. She was born in 2002 in Yaroslavl.

Alexei Bondarev, undoubtedly, will go down in the history of domestic hockey. He has for many years pleased the fans with a good game. Now Alex is a veteran of the team and will soon finish his long journey as a player. But there is no doubt that he will be offered an administrative position in the sport, on which he will also try hard to achieve high results.
