    73 is pretty young for someone who made fitness a high priority in their life.

  2. Was he actually a fitness consultant for the team or just for Bure?

    He was ahead of his time when it came to fitness and proper training for hockey. RIP.

  4. Also won four Olympic medals for the Soviet Union in swimming.

  5. Growing up playing hockey I was lucky enough to have Vladimir drop in a few times to train us off-ice in strength and agility (one of the parents on the team helped with the Canucks training staff). He was a super nice dude and super funny, and the workouts were *brutal*. RIP.

  6. I bet neither of the boys went to his funeral, they were estranged for a long time.
