Career in the KHL

Pankov’s native “Salavat Yulaev” outplayed the opponent in the difficult final series and won the Gagarin Cup. Season 2011-2012 Pankov started at the Toros club, which plays in the top Russian league. But he stayed in this club only until September, and after that he was returned to the main team - “Salavat Yulaev”. However, this time he failed to gain a foothold in such a strong club. In December, Pankov was again released to Toros. At the end of the season, this club won the Bratin Cup and not the last who contributed to this was Alexander Pankov. The hockey player has made a great contribution to the success of the team. In 2012, he was one step away from leaving for another club. But then Alexander decided to re-sign a bilateral contract with his native club Salavat Yulaev.

For the club "Motorist" this hockey player played 55 games and scored 19 points. In the offseason, inspired after a successful season, Alexander Pankov decided to move to Kazan “Ak Bars”. Most fans of Salavat Yulaev’s native club, Alexander, took this news very negatively. Discontent and insults rained down on him.

Such strong clubs as “Salavat Yulaev” and “Ak Bars” basically want to overtake each other in the standings. Matches between these teams were nicknamed the Green Derby. Usually, the games between the clubs “Salavat Yulaev” and “Ak Bars” are emotional and spectacular. Therefore, the transition of Alexander to the “Ak Bars” caused disapproval at home. Pankov on arrival in Kazan was pleasantly surprised by the sight of the new hockey base, which is one of the best in Russia. But in Kazan, only disappointment awaited him. This hockey player for “Ak Bars” played only one game, and then left the club. After this failure, Pankov played in the Tractor team, and then became a member of the Vityaz club, which plays in the KHL. It is in him that Alexander continues to be at the moment.
