Kvartalnov hockey player biography

What a hockey player Kvartalnov was April 10, Moscow time to share comments Dmitry Vyacheslavovich was a born sniper, but he was always unlucky with champion titles. Dmitry Kvartalnov is one of the most powerful and sought -after KHL coaches. He began his career as a mentor in M ​​in Cherepovetskaya “Severstal”, three years later he headed Siberia, where he earned a name and reputation and was among the top league specialists.

Everyone knows that the quarters are an incredibly demanding, systemic specialist who is completely surrendered to hockey and hate to lose. He, like no one else, misses the game through himself, and it is even strange that he had never managed to bring his team to the Gagarin Cup. The hockey player Dmitry Vyacheslavovich completed his career in the year. It was not filled with victories and achievements, but it turned out to be quite bright and saturated.

We recall which player the Kvartalnov was. Happy youth in Chemist: medals, titles, escape to America Dmitry Kvartalnov was born on March 25 in the historical hockey center of the USSR, Moscow Region Voskresensk. He stood on skates there, ended up at a sports school, and it quickly became clear that Kvartalov had every chance to enter the “Chemist” legends over time.

A talented, smart and very effective hockey player at the age of 16 debuted in the Resurrection team led by Vladimir Vasiliev. But in the year, Vasiliev only headed the team near Moscow and immediately pulled the promising junior of Kvartalnov. Dmitry played only seven matches that season, but he saw enough of the game of the already recognized resurrection masters.

In a word, a good course of a young fighter passed, ”Kvartalnov later recalled in an interview with his career. Dmitry was not deprived of Dmitry, but it was not immediately possible to implement it in the Chemist. The first full -fledged season at the heart of the Resurrection Club of Quarter, began already at the summer, in the year, and before that he spent several years along the "army" line.

About two months he played for the youth of CSKA. But, apparently, he did not like the coaching staff of the "army". Interestingly, one of these partners was Andrei Kvartalnov - Dmitry's older brother. Dmitry Kvartalnov Photo: Photo. For 64 matches, he pricked 33 goals and added 14 assists to them, showing the best numbers in SKA MVO, who performed the Union Championship in the first league.

The young sniper was immediately returned back to the “chemist”, where the quarterns almost immediately became the leader of the team. Two meetings in the fall of the GO with CSKA made a vivid impression on me when no one has seriously perceived our team. In Voskresensk, we “banged” the star army ensemble -, and two days later in Moscow, the victory was again behind us - in both meetings I managed to hit the gates of the rivals, ”the Kvartalnov recalled his most striking period in Voskresensk.

That “chemist” was indeed a formidable force of the Soviet championship and regularly challenged CSKA invincible in those years. For the first time in his history, the Sundays managed to achieve the best result in the spring of GO - the “chemist” won silver of the USSR championship, 5 points behind CSKA according to the results of the second stage of the championship.

At the end of the X career, Dmitry was rapidly going uphill. A few months after the conquest of silver with a “chemist”, the quarters in the USSR national team first went to the World Cup in Stockholm. The World Cup was remembered not only by the demarche of Alexander Mogilny, but also by the next Soviet gold, the last performance for the national team of the famous Five Fetis - Kasatonov, Krutov - Larion - Makarov and the brilliant game Vyacheslav Bykov.

A new peak was waiting for in Dmitry. It is curious that the head coach of the USSR national team Viktor Tikhonov did not take the most effective hockey player of the championship for the world forum in m. So Kvartalnov missed a chance to attach a hand to the last gold in the history of the Soviet national team. Dmitry Kvartalnov in Chemist Photo: Centericecollectibles. The Soviet Union was rapidly falling apart, almost all Russian hockey players of a decent level rushed to Europe and America.

At the same time, Kvartalnov went into the unknown - at that time no one had chosen him at the NHL draft. Yesterday, the player was in your team, today you come - no. Where did it go? He flew to the States. But it was from these guys that I did not expect this. Dima is cunning, always on his mind. And Valerka is a pleasant guy, decent, ”the head coach of Voskreventsev Vladimir Vasiliev later talked about the departure of his leaders.

The “Boston” was most impressed with the quarterly game: in the NHL draft in M ​​“Bruins” they spent their choice in the first round on a promising junior, but on the summer Russian sniper. The first year of Dmitry in the NHL was a continuation of the American fairy tale. Kvartalnov was somewhat lucky that at the beginning of his debut regular, the leader of Boston Kam Nili “broke”, and Dmitry took his place in the link with Adam Outs and Joe Juno.

This three, which in America was called "Bonanza Line" in honor of the popular Western "Bonanza", was distinguished by a delightful understanding and was uncontrollable.Kvartalnov in it played the role of the tip of the attacks and brilliantly coped with his task. With each match, it works better and better. ” Video goal Dmitry Kvartalnova for Boston. However, seriously in the prospects of Kvartalnov, who spent his first year in the strongest League of the world at the NHL star, in Boston, as it turned out, no one believed.

Even to the play-off of that season, Nili recovered from the injury, “Bonanza Line” was broken, and in other links of the quarter was ineffective. The main claim of Bruins to its avenue was the softness of Kvartalnov and the unwillingness to work out on the defense. But our main goal is to keep other players, ”the Genmane Genmane Harry Shinden explained. Perhaps the transition to a new team would be the best to affect the career of a talented Russian sniper, but the quarters remained in a team where he was not valued and did not want to find an approach to him.

Relations with the head coach did not have, but when there was an opportunity to exchange me in another club, the leadership did not use it. Satter was generally very peculiar to European hockey players. I recall such a characteristic case. Herman Titov, who played in the first link in the “Kalgary” attack and created in his best years together with Theo Fleri the shock force of this club, with the arrival of Satter, lost its place in the main composition and missed 15 games per season.

He simply crossed Titov from the team. Honestly, I was in shock. Well, I, who had a little hammered and somewhere with a cooler related to defensive functions, could be put on a bench. But you want to find fault with Titov - you won’t find what: he worked out in defense, and was always dangerous ahead. Nevertheless, Satter disliked him. Finding your coach for the player, namely a coach, and not a team, means to play 50 percent, ”he shared the emotions of the quarters after returning to Russia in the year.

But I decided to go to Europe, which I later very spared, as I thus blocked my way to return to the NHL, ”said Kvartalnov. In a certain combination of circumstances, Dmitry could become a NHL star at least on a short time segment, but did not work out. In M, he will still have preliminary agreements with Atlanta and the training-kemp in Edmonton, but the quarters no longer went to overseas ice.

In Ambr-Piott, where Dmitry played under the leadership of Alexander Yakushev, he invariably threw more than 20 goals per season, but he was not destined to win the gold of the Swiss league. The same story in the Austrian championship: Quartallov is the best scorer "Clagenfurt", but again without a single trophy in four years. Yes, and I am not lucky in my life with champion titles, ”Kvartalnov told in metro, as we know now, little has changed in the coaching field.

In m, just after an unsuccessful voyage in Edmonton, Kvartalnov was in Germany, and there almost ended his career at 33. He reminded me of the lower overseas leagues: they push a lot, constantly cling and almost at every step they build traps. I do not say that this is bad, but it was hard for me to play there in such an environment. And soon, by mutual consent of the parties, I and the management of Mangem terminated our contract.

Frankly, at that time I was visited by thoughts to end my career. But then there was an option with Jokerite, in which, by and large, I gained my second birth in hockey. In Finland, it was played hunting, with new partners it was possible to quickly find mutual understanding. And if the Finns were more consistent in conversations that they were interested in me, then I would not have left Yokerite, ”said Quartalov.

With Jokerite, Dmitry won the bronze of the Finnish championship, and then decided to return to Russia. True, there were enough offers from European clubs, but the financial side categorically did not suit me, ”the forward explained the reasons for the return. By his own admission, Kvartalov, he would be glad to sign a contract with his native “chemist”, but the resurrects at the turn of the century sank to the Previse, and Dmitry wanted to play at the highest level.

So Kvartalnov ended up in Ak Barca. The favorite of the Kazan public, the “opposition” by Poychev, the Cherepovets at the end of his career in Kazan, the experienced attacker quickly became one of the leaders of the team and the favorite of the fans. In Ak Barce, Kvartalnov spent four seasons, worked under the leadership of Vladimir Krikunov and Vladimir Poychev, played with young Pavel Datsyuk, who later included in the number of the best centers, with whom he had to go to the ice.

When Vladimir Krikunov trained Ak Bars, the workshops were very large. And to me, as an age player, it was sometimes not easy to transfer them. But nothing, as you see, survived. As for the reasons for quick adaptation, I can say one thing: I was lucky with partners. With such masters as Sergey Zolotov and Pavel Datsyuk, it was not difficult to find a common language as soon as possible, ”recalled Quartalnov.

At the end of the game, I caught the “oblique” look of Vladimir Anatolyevich. And a little later, he stated that I almost create an opposition in the team in contrast to him.

At the end of that championship, I began to get into the starting lineup later, and in early April I was put up on a transfer. But soon as the head coach of Poyshchev was replaced by the Czech Vladimir Vuytek, and I stayed in Kazan for another season, ”Kvartalnov recalled. Kvartalnov did not immediately finish his career: he spent a year in Severstal, then at 6 matches he looked into his native Chemist, hooking the last season of the team in Voskresensk.

And in the end, I did not even get into the playoffs. Probably, I should not play for the "chemist".
