Goalies go fishing
The idea was put forth by
Traktor’s goalies coach Viktor Demchenko who had decided to interject some fun
in their two-week break. All three goalies went to Bolshoy Kremenkul lake where
they were fishing for two hours at least. Fokin and Mezin were not new to the
process; however, Michael Garnett was not ‘initiated’.
In the beginning Michael let
the fish go, but eventually caught some and left it to himself, in the process having
a tryout as a cameraman’s job.
The winner of the unofficial Goalies Fishing Cup was Andrey Mezin who
immediately proclaimed that since he had caught the most fish, it would propel
him to #1 goaltender status in the playoffs.
