John Ogrodnick was a favorite of mine when I started watching the Wings. Thanks for posting this. I got fooled for a minute when I saw Fedorov and I kept looking at him and I'm like that doesn't look like Sergei. Then they said it was his brother.

Mickey Redmond not wearing a helmet. That's awesome.

Aye that is Fyodor Fyodorov his younger brother. He played for the Windsor Spitfires in the OHL. Had a handful of NHL games in Vancouver.

After Sergei's NHL career was over he joined Fyodor in Metalurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL.

Thanks. Interesting first name that went with his last name.

IIRC, last names in Russia came about under Catherine the Great as part of 'Westernization', since she was from the German states.

Previously people's names would be their birthname followed by their fathers.

Ex. Sergei Victorovich or Fyodor Victorovich.

Sergei son of Victor
Fyodor son of Victor

This is still used for the middle name. It would also be used in more formal situations. For example, one would introduce themselves with First and Middle name within a formal setting.

Catherine introduced the surname (still typically following the father's or his occupation) to be more inline with rest of Europe. Probably also had additional record keeping advantages.


One of most common is derived from the word Smith - Koval.


Kovalev - Russian, son of Smith
Kovalov - Russian/Ukrainian, son of Smith
Kovalenko - Ukrainian, son of Smith [also used in Russian]
Kovalchuk - Ukrainian, son of Smith [also used in Russian]

Derivatives in other Slav countries.

Kowalski - Polish, son of Smith
Kovalczyk - Polish
Kovačić - South Slavic predominantly Croatian/Serbian, son of Smith

Looks like there was a training camp game streamed that I slept through.

Entertaining. Certainly a defensive minded game.
