Sergei Michailowitsch Makarow ( Russian Сергей Михайлович Макаров ; born June 19, 1958 in Chelyabinsk , Russian SFSR ) is a former Russian ice hockey player and a member of the IIHF Hall of Fame and the Hockey Hall of Fame .

Career

As an exceptionally talented ice hockey player, Makarov was trained in the Soviet Union. He won two junior world titles and was named best player during his second win in 1978. With the Soviet national team he was able to win the ice hockey world championships in 1978 , 1979 , 1981 , 1982 , 1983 , 1986 , 1989 and 1990 and the Canada Cup in 1981 .

At the Winter Olympics, he also won with the Soviet national team, twice gold ( 1984 and 1988 ) and a silver medal ( 1980 ).

Makarow played in the Soviet Union from 1978 to 1989 for HK CSKA Moscow . During this time he was eight times Soviet player of the year and was at the top of the scoring table nine times. Together with Igor Larionov and Vladimir Krutov , he formed the legendary KLM series (also called Green Line ), which is considered to be the best and most talented assault series ever to play ice hockey.

In 1980 and 1986 Makarov was awarded the golden bat by the daily Izvestia as the best European player of the year.

In 1989 Makarov was allowed to leave the country to join the NHL and the Calgary Flames , who had drawn him in 241st place in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft . At the age of 31, he won the Calder Memorial Trophy as Rookie of the Year (as a result, the rules were changed, now only players under the age of 26 can qualify for this award - the Makarov rule ).

In the NHL he also played from 1993 to 1995 for the San Jose Sharks (together with Larionow) and in 1996 for the Dallas Stars . He ended his career in 1998 after playing another season for HK CSKA Moscow .

In April 2008 Makarov was elected to the All-Star Team of the 20th Century by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) (together with Vladislav Tretyak , Vyacheslav Fetissov , Börje Salming , Valeri Kharlamov and Wayne Gretzky ). According to the German sports journalist and author Horst Eckert , Makarow is likely to go down in ice hockey history as the best individualist and single talent.

In 2016 Makarov was honored with the induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame .

Makarow is currently living in Moscow again and is working in the Ministry of Sports as Director of Finance.
