Former state ice hockey coach of the Republic of Kazakhstan Sergei Shavernev shared with Sports.kz his opinion on which of the Kazakh players can be considered the best in the 2024 calendar year.
— I would name Nikita Boyarkin the best Kazakh hockey player of the year. He does a great job of stopping shots. Now he is visible and well-known in the KHL. He is also one of the league leaders in terms of statistical indicators. Compared to last year, Nikita has made noticeable progress,” the specialist said.
Note that in the current season of the Kontinental Hockey League, Nikita Boyarkin has reflected 93.8% of shots in 25 meetings and has a reliability coefficient of 2.03.
