Icecast 2.0, Episode 6: Valeri Kamensky

Valeri Kamensky is one of the busiest executives in Russian hockey. A member of the KHL Board of Directors, vice president of Spartak Moscow and chairman of the league disciplinary committee, he has dedicated his post-playing career to a sport that he calls “his life.”

Kamensky’s contributions were lauded as high up as the Kremlin, which recently issued him the Order of Alexander Nevsky for his role in Russian hockey development. Kamensky is an Olympic, World and Stanley Cup Champion—rarefied air better known as the Triple Gold Club, one of hockey’s most elite distinctions. Host Gillian Kemmerer caught up with Kamensky for the latest episode of Icecast to discuss the Olympic season, his dreams for Russian hockey and much more.
