Sports biography of hockey player Sergei Alexandrovich Konkov

Sergey Konkov was born on May 30 in 1982 in the city of Moscow. In his childhood he was a mobile and active child, always aspired to the yard to play football or volleyball. At the age of five, Sergei saw on TV how to play hockey. There was no limit to the interest and surprise, because nobody told him before that there is such a sport where the ice is pushed by the puck from the gate to the gate. Soon the boy asks his parents to buy him skates so that he learns to ride on ice.

His son's wishes were fulfilled, and a few years later Sergei enrolled in the hockey section. Over the years, he demonstrated good speed, positional orientation, striking accuracy, as well as high power indicators (body fighting, balance, etc.). As a result, Konkov was noticed by the coaches of the Moscow club "Wings of the Soviets" and, accordingly, invited to their composition. Here he was in favor of a farm team (reserve, 3rd composition) and showed good results. Professional career began in 1999, when he became the foundation of the club "Wings of the Soviets."

First transfers

The next game season was marked by the transfer of Sergei to the team "HC CSKA", which performed in the Higher Hockey League. Here he played for three seasons. His statistics for this period were as follows: 56 points in the 131st held match. In the 2002/2003 season, Konkov has already moved to the legendary CSKA Moscow, but he had only two games here and signed a transfer agreement with the new club Molot-Prikamye (Perm).

In 2003 Sergey Konkov (photo above) signed a contract with the club "Neftekhimik" from the city of Nizhnekamsk (Republic of Tatarstan). Here he became almost the most important player of the team, playing until 2007. During this time, Konkov managed to score 83 points in 214 games. Sergei was a non-replaceable base player (except for injuries and injuries), which scored in almost every match.

In April 2007, the striker concludes a contract with Yaroslavl "Locomotive", with which they win silver in the Super League, and after the championship of the Continental Hockey League. As a member of the club, Konkov played 174 games, in which he managed to score 83 points. In the beginning of 2010, fans and fans of the hockey community were shocked by the fact that Sergey Konkov left Lokomotiv. The club management felt that it was necessary to return the player back to Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik, exchanging for the central striker Konstantin Makarov.

Return to the club "Neftekhimik"

Returning to the Nizhnekamsk club, Sergei continued to pummel the puck into the opponent's goal and again quickly won the authority of the leader in the team (in the 81st held match earned 48 points). However, he played here until May 2011, after which he signed a two-year agreement with the Moscow hockey club Dynamo. Nevertheless, this is not the end of the story with Neftekhimik. Konkov will return to Nizhnekamsk in 2016 and play one season.

Going to the Moscow "Dynamo"

As part of the "cops" Sergei Konkov twice succeeded in the Gagarin Cup victory in 2012 and 2013. The first season in "Dynamo" was brilliant and was considered the best players in the attacking line - 27 points scored in 47 games. However, the following season his role in the team was slightly changed: the attacker was mostly in the reserve, because of poor performance of the game. In 23 games, the striker earned only 2 points, which is catastrophically small for a professional level. In the stage of the playoffs of regular seasons, Konkov was more useful - 6 points in 20 matches.

Speeches for the Yaroslavl "Locomotive"

In 2013, Sergei moved to the well-known club "Lokomotiv" from Yaroslavl. Here he already played in the period from 2007 to 2010 and was in high esteem and authority. Nevertheless, the coming season as part of the "locomotive" striker Sergey Konkov spent, frankly, bad - 9 points in 27 games. Despite this misfire, quickly rehabilitated in the series playoff games against Dynamo (Moscow), in which he recently played. In this fight, Konkov scored two goals and was the hero of the match. Sensational victory, "Loco" knocked out "cops" from the tournament, which were two-time holders of the Gagarin Cup.

The next team in the tournament grid was "SKA", which Sergey Konkov pinned three washers, providing a devastating victory to his club. Such triumphs, unconditionally, poured bright colors into the life of talented strikers. He still has a lot ahead, he certainly still has something to show on the ice. As the events will develop, only time will show, but at the present time one can safely assure that this hockey player is capable of much.
