Evgeny Orlov is a talented Russian hockey player who, in his youth, managed to make himself known throughout the country. This striker is currently playing for the team “Saryarka”, showing good statistics.
First steps in sports
Evgeny Orlov was born on October 24, 1990 in Omsk. Grew up a sports child. First, he successfully played football until the age of 7. The parents of this athlete often took him with them to the games of the Omsk “Vanguard”. Orlov liked the atmosphere that was at the stadium, and he decided that he would play hockey. Eugene was sent to the local hockey school quite late. Children have already skated on ice for 2 years, and Orlov still skated, holding on to the side. At first, this young hockey player played in the second composition, but then, thanks to his diligence, he became one of the best players in the club.
Professional career
Evgeny Orlov, along with several peers, ended up in the MHL. Creating a youth league is an important step in the history of hockey. Thanks to this event, many young players got a chance to show themselves. Eugene was struck by the high level of play in the youth league. He had especially strong emotions when a full stadium of fans gathered during the playoffs.
The last season in the MHL for Orlov was very successful. He, together with the Omsk Hawks team, won the Kharlamov Cup. Throughout the season, he trained with the first team, and played for the Omsk Hawks. Evgeny Orlov was the real leader of the team both on the ice and in the locker room, whose height matched the standard parameters of the striker. His height is 183 centimeters, and weight - about 84 kilograms.
After success in the MHL, Evgeny Orlov joined the Red Stars team and went to play in America. The coaching staff at the meeting decided that Orlov would be the team captain. This hockey player was surprised at the high level of playing overseas. It was difficult for him to play in small venues. Despite the success of this young striker in the NHL draft, he was not chosen. Surprisingly, one of the leaders of the MHL was not interested in the strongest league on the planet.
KHL debut
Evgeny Orlov made his confident debut as part of the Avangard club. It was difficult for him to switch from youth hockey to adult. Great influence on Orlov had Jaromir Jagr, who at that moment played for the Omsk “Vanguard”. Young Eugene was struck by the industriousness of a hockey star. He realized that if you work hard, you can achieve a lot. This hockey player scored his first goal for the Omsk team at the tournament in memory of Victor Blinov.
In the KHL, Orlov opened his score on goals on October 10, 2009 in a game against a team from Novokuznetsk. As part of the Avangard club, Orlov began to periodically appear on the field. He was with the team during the playoff games, but did not take part. Eugene for the first season managed to feel the atmosphere of the KHL. Unfortunately, he failed to gain a foothold in the main squad in the team.
Career continuation
The next big club in Orlov’s career was Amur from Khabarovsk. As part of this team, he spent 3 seasons on the field. Finally, Eugene took to the field and pleased the Khabarovsk fans with a quality game, and did not sit on the bench. Orlov in the season 2014/2015 took part in more than 50 games. Then he moved to the Ugra. But there this hockey player could not realize himself. The Ugra team was the last KHL team to play with Orlov.
In 2016, he was at the training camp of the Spartak team. But according to their results, a contract with him was not concluded. Then this striker played one season for the Krasnoyarsk “Falcon”. This team plays in the top Russian league. Eugene at this level was easier to get involved in the game. The athlete began the season 2016/2017 in the Saryarka team.
Athlete's personal life
Evgeny Orlov, whose photo often appears in sports magazines, is married. The athlete’s wife is Natalia. She is also from Omsk. The newlyweds met through the brother of Natalia. He rode with Eugene in the same train carriage. The fellow travelers got into a conversation, and Natalya's brother invited Orlov to talk with his sister. The couple played the wedding 4 months after the first meeting, which was very unusual.
After the institute, Natalya was in a business suit, and Eugene was in shorts and slippers. After the game, he did not have 2 teeth. Initially, they wanted to play a wedding in the summer, after the regular season ends. Lovers wanted to invite numerous friends from all over Russia and walk around noisily and cheerfully. But then they decided not to wait so long and they got married in December. This event was held in Omsk. After the wedding, Natalia often had to return to her homeland, as she received the 2nd higher education. And after finally moved to Khabarovsk.
Evgeny Orlov, whose biography is currently not very successful, continues to perform in Kazakhstan. The game level in this country is lower than in the KHL. Therefore, the national team does not consider this athlete as a player. At the moment, Evgeny Orlov is 26 years old and, possibly, with time he will return to the KHL again.
