90-91 OPC Soviets

[GoldenSkates]

Has anyone been able to get any autos for any of the Soviets included in the 90-91 OPC regular set? I have run many various google searches on those names but all web pages I am getting are in Russian. I can't make heads or tales of it. I'm sure some of them must be coaching or still playing. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

I have gotten Dmitri Mironov, Andrei Trefilov, Igor Kravchuk, Victor Tikonhov, Sergei Zubov, Alexi Zhamnov, Alexander Semak, and a few others. I got most while they were still playing in the 1990's and I got Tikonhov while he was doing with the Penguins. Please let me know if you have any address for any player on either the 90/91 or 91/92 set. Good Luck

If anyone does happen to find anything, I've been needing a way to contact Sergei Priakin for about a year now. I'm hoping someone knows something!!

[GoldenSkates]

Wickipedia spells his name Sergei Pryakhin. You could try to Google his name with the alternate spelling and see what happens.

[FlamesFan]

Yeah, wikipedia and google all spell it wrong. Thanks for checking on it though! I've searched up and down the web for some contact info... I know he's playing for some all-star russian team that comes to Boston once a year around November for a game... but I'm in California. The closest I've found are some websites for the team sponsors (gas company) but I can never find anything that looks like an address... If I could only read Russian... LOL!

If the game is in Boston and is arranged by the Bruins perhaps you could contact their pr department or alumni and arrange a time and place for you to send a letter. I wish I could help more.

[FlamesFan]

Yeah, that's a great idea... I hope he plans to play again this year. I believe the game is played at a college arena, with Bruins alumni or something. Thanks for the suggestion.

GoldenSkates, is there somewhere a checklist for the set? If i knew the names, i certainly could help you with a few.

His hockey schol has a website:
www.semenovhockeyschool.com

the camps run from April to May but there is a mailing address available on the site.

Also, Dimitri Yushkevich is a guest trainer at the school.

[GoldenSkates]

Does anyone have an address for the Latvian National Hockey Team? Their website has only an email address. I have left an email but I would be surprized if I get a reply. If I do I will post it.
