“After probably some time, it was just every day,” Kochetkov said. “Every day just no feels good. It’s every day I feel this. I feel it when I skate, when I’m off ice, when I go sleep. It was every day. I tried my best to play, to come back every time, but just after every game, it just felt more and more. And then there was a moment where I just understood I no can play because it was just too much for me and dangerous for my future and for my career.”
