And this is not the whole list of ranks and regalia of this famous hockey player.

Childhood

His date of birth is April 20, 1958. He was born in Moscow. Parents came to the capital from the province: father, Alexander Maksimovich - from the Ryazan region, mother, Natalia Nikolayevna - from Smolensk.

Home for Vyacheslav to 6 years was a barrack, in which, in addition to the Fetisovs, there were 20 more families. Their room was extreme, which allowed the grandfather and father to make a small annex. There, Vyacheslav's childhood passed.

First ice

Little Glory learned to skate very early. The first ice for him was the frozen water from a column that stood on a hillock, not far from the Fetisovs' house. Sticking, she covered almost the entire street with ice. Biography Fetisova Vyacheslav, whose family has always adhered to a healthy lifestyle, has developed this way in many ways thanks to early involvement in sports. Father, being a man fit and athletic, often took his son to nearby ponds. It was then that the boy first put on skates. They were two-lane and tied with a string to the shoes. Later, when there were more advanced, "eider", Vyacheslav's joys were limitless.

In subsequent years, Vyacheslav Fetisov, whose family moved to live in a three-room apartment in 1964, learned to play hockey in the courtyard of his house on the Korovinskoye highway. There local enthusiasts built a hockey box on which even the lighting was, which by the standards of that time was considered a great rarity.

School or hockey

Fetisov, Vyacheslav was quite a successful student. For his parents, getting education was always a priority. The father, who earned his living by physical labor all his life, believed that if the diploma was awarded to a son, the life of the latter would be much easier than for him. For parents to have an engineer son was much more welcome than an athlete's son. Therefore, before going to training, Slava had to complete all homework. He succeeded successfully. He perfectly combined the morning training and study.

Later he entered the Military Institute of Physical Education (Leningrad), which he subsequently graduated from. However, hitting a big hockey, the future champion realized that he could no longer do something else. This simply did not have the strength and time. The parental dream of having an engineer son was buried.

From the courtyard team in CSKA

Fetisov, Vyacheslav, like most of the boys of that time, played in a courtyard hockey team. During the participation in the city tournament "Golden Puck" the team of Housing and Public Utilities No. 19, in which Slava was, falls into the final. One of the meetings took place on Peschanaya Square. In the same place, CSKA hockey players trained. At that time, the coach of the army was Yuri Alexandrovich Chebarin, who once stayed after training and saw the sports battle of ordinary boys from the yard. He noticed the bold and confident game of Glory, and two days later the boy went to training with CSKA coach Boris Nikolayevich Bervinov. Vyacheslav was enlisted in the team and determined in defense.

The famous army hockey school, the traditions of which were laid by the great Tarasov, accepted the talented guy with open arms. Nobody paid any attention to the fact that he got into the team completely by accident. And the coaches quickly came to the conclusion that Vyacheslav is really talented.

Fetisovsky style of play

Being a character more attacker than defender, Fetisov did not want to play in the generally accepted for the defender manner. This behavior was the reason that his participation in the first away matches of the Soviet youth team in Canada was questionable. According to the then coach Nikolai Veniaminovich Golomazov, in the main matches should be played by such defenders who do not depart from their gates. A game Fetisov, he called adventurous, because he at the first opportunity appeared immediately attacked. This approach, on the one hand, led to a large number of goals scored, and on the other - to flaws in the defense. To date, there is the concept of the so-called "fetis" hockey style, when the game on the defensive is active, characterized by constant connections to the attack and powerful throws. Hockey philosophy after the appearance in the world of hockey novice named Vyacheslav Fetisov (photo below) has changed. And the hockey masters realized that with the right approach to the training process, his style leads to success.

First victories

Now the life of Vyacheslav Fetisov has undergone many changes. He participates in the main matches of the youth team of the army, traveling around the world. So, in 1974, the young army team won a deafening victory in the match against the Canadians, almost exactly repeating the feat of the "adult" USSR national team. Then, like the big team, they burned at the beginning of the match, conceding two pucks in the first minutes. But then the army team collected all their forces and won with a score of 7: 3.

Since 1975, Slava, who at that time was only 17 years old, plays in the main army team. The first participation in the championship of the world belongs to 1977. Then in Vienna he played in pair with the most experienced Gennady Tsygankov. Despite the youth of the guy, the coaches trusted him and were confident in his game. Fetisov, Vyacheslav played then in the top five, which was very prestigious. And a year later, in Prague, where the 1978 World Cup was held, he became the best defender of the tournament.

Development of sports career

Fans of the young hockey player was very much. Somehow he immediately won the hearts of all the fans. Who would have thought that, in fact, he at that time he was still a rookie in the team. But the impression was created that for a long time already Vyacheslav defended the honor of the country, playing in the legendary USSR national hockey team.
